Building fat binaries is more problematic than that, unfortunately.
configure scripts do all kinds of checking that are true on one
architecture
and not anouther and build code conditionally depending on those
checks.
Now you have chosen a preprocessor, you will get configure results
for that
arch and could end up building an i386 binary that does not work.
I advise against the fat approach, I know Rob Braun tried it at
some point
and had issues (I cc'ed him).
I also vote against it. The toolchain we have been using these past 5
years has a platform-independent type, but that's not really what we
are building. apt and fink look in certain locations for debs, and
they keep track of the arch installed. I'd rather not have to do
elaborate tricks to try to get things 'mostly' working.
