It looks like hwloc is unable to determine what type of CPU you have.
It doesn't look like you're cross-compiling either.  Can you share with
us information on your machine such as the CPU, OS, and version of
compilers used?  Also please let us know if there is anything that may
not be considered standard about your setup.


The output from the following commands should work:
    uname -a
    cat /etc/issue
    gcc --version

We are using an embedded version of hwloc-1.5 for our library.  It may
be useful for you to try downloading and building both the 1.5 and 1.6
versions of hwloc to see if they suffer from this same issue.
