That's unfortunate. I thought that if I can build fat binaries on
either architecture, distributing builds across architectures
would be possible as well. There goes my dream of a cheap compiler
farm...
What if the master Mac was an Intel machine, though? (Transition
Kit, I mean.)
Indeed - since you can build PPC binaries on an Intel arch. machine
(and vice versa) if you're compilation farm was all Intel, you could
still distribute universal binary builds across the farm correct ?
And the resultant binary would/could be a universal binary capable of
supporting both platforms.
So - back to the original poster. I'm not that familiar with the
Darwin/X86 stuff, but can a transition kit machine distribute to a
collection of a 'generic PC's' running what version of darwin and
tools ? The latest releases from the darwin site ? Or something else ?

P.S. I know that at least one other 'glitch' in this is that the
xcodebuild command line tool doesn't support distributed builds even
on XCode 2.1 and a farm of PPC machines. But there's bugs logged for
that and I'm sure it's getting some attention.
