[Bug] uname -o prints spurious error message

[emjayess]

What were you trying to install (or what else went wrong)?

webi itself (first-time webi user)

What exactly did you do?

I ran curl -sS https://webi.sh/ | sh to install webi, per the site

What went wrong?

It completed the installation successfully, and webi is available. However the installation output, as well the output of subsequent webi invocations, is littered with a warning that uname -o is an illegal option, which seems to be in the my_libc detection block of the script...

uname: illegal option -- o
usage: uname [-amnprsv]

Seen here 3x, in the installation output:

That's very interesting. Newer versions of macOS do support the -o option.

That said, we've had this problem on some of the other BSDs and it will be fixed as part of #756.

Thanks for the report.

I'll close this since the fix is already in an active PR.
