kernels aren't versioned. the os name isn't reported; you're expected to 
know you're on a plan 9 system. `echo $sysname' will tell you the system 
name. `echo $cputype' will tell you the arch.

9 doesn't need a uname command. $sysname matters depending on context, 
but $cputype really doesn't; the 9 compilers are natively cross-arch.
