This is not really a complaint against zsh, it's just a cry of frustration.
bash% echo `hostname` $HOSTTYPE
zagzig i386
tcsh% echo `hostname` $HOSTTYPE
zagzig i486-linux
zsh% echo `hostname` $MACHTYPE $OSTYPE
zagzig i586 linux

Thus conclusively proving that zsh is superior, because its knowledge
of the CPU type is more specific.
(Yes, consistency would be nice. And I'm surprised that bash, being a
GNU program, didn't produce the same answer as zsh, which gets it from
autoconf.)

This is because bash does not use autoconf, having its own
autoconfiguration facilities. The bash FAQ states that bash-2.0 will
probably support the GNU autoconf.
