Hi all,
I started changing my projects to build universal libraries and binaries
and the first thing I tested was whether I could link universal against
a thin static library. I hoped that this would fail, because it's
eventually going to fail at runtime. (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?
Thanks,
Rush
