Hi again,
As Bullwinkle always said about pulling a rabbit out of his hat, "This time for SURE!" ;-)
I have a project whose only target builds a BSD static library. It links against a bunch of other BSD static libraries. I previously built it only for ppc. Now I want to build it as a Universal library. I changed the Xcode project by adding the second architecture type, but I didn't change my library search paths for the other static libraries. This meant that I was linking my fat static lib against thin static libs.
Xcode did not complain about this, at least not when I built the Debug version. The build said it completed successfully.
I did not change any SDK settings, and I did not try to build the Release version.
For most project templates, the Debug configuration sets ARCHS = $ (NATIVE_ARCH), and the Release configuration sets ARCHS = ppc i386. So if you just built debug and not release, this is expected, and not a bug.
If you built Release and did not get an error, it would be a bug. If you changed Architectures in the Debug configuration to be ppc i386 and did not get an error, it would be a bug. We have no bug reports like this at this time.

Thanks Chris. Sorry for the red herring earlier.
I changed Debug so ARCHES = ppc i386 and didn't get an error. I'll file the bug.
