It's "i686-pc-mingw32" here. Couldn't you try to write a function that provides more meaningful information here? I always consider w32 bug reports inferior to the ones for GNU/Linux which IMHO are not entirely optimal either. Basically, it would be fine to have one function that gets me, in a nicely formatted way, - the operating system, - the revision number, - the build options, - the build environment, - the date of the build that is, most of the things you asked for. martin
