Right, AFAICT the compiler was assuming that buffer is const. Later in the code it is used to retrieve the architecture string from the PROM, and the buffer[4] char then determines the arch. With the const assumption this value was incorrectly set to 'c' at compile time, leading to misdetection of the architecture.
