Found this on Google.

It looks like Config::CONFIG["arch"] is what you need to be looking at.

RUBY_PLATFORM?

RUBY_PLATFORM
The identifier of the platform running this program. This string
is in the same form as the platform identifier used by the GNU
configure utility (which is not a coincidence).

Hm, what about Config::CONFIG['target_os'] or Config::CONFIG['host_os']?

Spoilsport. Why's Ruby always gotta make things easy? -sigh-

Truly, that's the hardest thing for me to get used to... I'm used to
having to work to find out things like that.
