"Universal Binaries"

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It seems that Apple's OSX has introduced something known as a "Universal Binary" in which the compiler conveniently compiles for both PowerPC and Intel in one whack. Libraries and executables then automatically "work" for both architectures.

Does anyone else see that this defeats the purpose of autoconf and will likely result in broken programs and libraries since the results of some autoconf tests are only applicable to the CPU type on which configure executes?
