No, they're two separate binaries. (Trust me there's a good reason

I hate to say this, but I don't quite trust you on that. :) What's
the reason? I've seen an awful lot of cases over the past year where
folks thought they needed separate binaries but I've yet to see one
which actually did. Maybe you'll be the first....
Because the application I'm writing has to run on all versions of
Panther, down to 10.3.0. (Part of its function is to make sure the
user is up-to-date on point releases.) To compile a universal binary,
you need to use gcc 4.0, and in order to run applications compiled
with gcc 4.0, you must be running 10.3.9.
How's that work for you? :)
Not too well. :) You only need to use gcc 4.0 for the Intel side, but
the PowerPC side of your binary can use any Mach-O compiler at all,
including gcc 2.95.3 or even CodeWarrior.
