(Let's say I build the universal on my Intel box, so that it only ends up being correctly linked for the i386 architecture. Then I run the "universal" binary on my ppc. Since there's no valid ppc executable inside the universal binary it should fail. If I did it the other way around, I might be "saved" by Rosetta.) What I found was that the build appeared to succeed.
I have two questions: 1) Is there any reason that this isn't a bug? 2) Has anyone filed a bug on this?
It depends on how far you got after you started changing your projects to build universal. Did you get to a) using the 10.4u SDK, b) setting the Architectures to ppc i386, and c) building a Release build? Because linking a Universal binary against a thin static lib should have failed under those circumstances.
Could you please post the part of the build transcript where linking takes place?
