That is interesting.  I would not have guessed at that fact.  As we
see online many even thousands of bits that separate architecture in a
sort of quickie non exacting way... as being amd PC PowerPC (maybe
more)

So the unwary reader is led to believe that amd means an architecture
different from `pc'.

Thanks for the clarity.
