Diff it against /dev/null locally on your machine. Since empty files
are all alike, this is good enough ;-).

Please refer to @code{uname}, not to its file name; the latter is not
useful for users which usually don't know the names of the files. And
it's better to make the index entries more specific, for example:
@findex uname AT r{, CPU type detection}
This prevents a situation where there are several index entries all
saying "uname" which refer to different changes, leaving the user
wondering which one does she want to read. (The @r thing is to force
everything but the function name to be printed in the normal font, as
opposed to the typewriter font which is the default for the @findex
entries.)
I'd also suggest to make the change description more clear, like
"Ability to report the exact CPU type..." or something similar.
