D'ohh!  That appears to be an artifact of Red Hat's build -- I was using
/usr/bin/python (theirs), not /usr/local/bin/python (mine).

  $ /usr/bin/python
  Python 1.5.2 (#1, Feb  1 2000, 16:32:16)  [GCC egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs- on linux-i386

  >>> sys.platform
  'linux-i386'

Sorry for getting alarmist.  Guess I never should have started using
sys.platform in the first place (or just not worry about getting the CPU
in there too).
