would the community accept a patch that would allow the making of 4-way fat

Depends on how big and ugly it is, I think. If you can do it just by
hacking CFLAGS and friends, sure; if it's as invasive as the Windows
build machinery, definitely not; in between, we'd have to see it.
We've been through this once already. You can't do it (cleanly) with just
Makefile hackery. The architectures have different endianness and possibly
other ABI differences. To handle that cleanly you have to run configure once
for each architecture and build each architecture with the appropriate
config.h.
Could we then combine the executables into one 4-way fat binary ?
I'll see what I come up with.
