Asher,

Why do you think it is not working?  This is exactly what I get and  
the compile does the right thing by selecting a P4 with MMX.  The CPU  
field is accurate.  That is the string that is reported by the OSX  
sysctl call.  While seeing "Unknown" may be alarming it does not  
impact how the build will proceed.  If anything this is a bug with  
OSX since it is providing the string.
