Comment:

 "Be careful, in a chrooted 32-bit env, the uname is still answering like
 the 64-bit host system. getconf LONG_BIT works fine."

 {{{
 % diff 3841/start-tor-browser original/start-tor-browser
 119,126d118
 < SYSARCHITECTURE=$(getconf LONG_BIT)
 < TORARCHITECTURE=$(expr "$(file App/tor)" : '.*ELF \([[:digit:]]*\)')
 <
 < if [ $SYSARCHITECTURE -ne $TORARCHITECTURE ]; then
 <       complain "Wrong architecture? 32-bit vs. 64-bit."
 <       exit 1
 < fi
 <
 }}}

 "works for me"

 "getconf LONG-BIT" is supported on MacOS, too. the "file" output is
 obviously different though.

 Should I open new tickets (and patches) for the MacOS and the Windows
 launcher?
