Small hack to install Xilinx Vivado on Debian

Since Vivado uses uname -i to check if the operating system is really 64 bits, a very simplistic wrapper can be generated as follows:

cat > uname <if [[ "${@}" == *"-i"* ]]; then
  echo "x86_64"
else
  uname $@
fi
EOF

chmod +x uname

Then 

export PATH=$PWD:$PATH

Then the installer doesn't complain anymore : 

./Xilinx_Vivado_SDK_2015.3_0929_1_Lin64.bin 

Verifying archive integrity... All good.
