Amen brother,
I was always under the impression, that one could speed up the build of universal binaries, if Xcode would let us.
I think you might be confusing two separate things here. Xcode can't distribute builds to both PowerPC and Intel systems at the same time, but it can distribute the building of both PowerPC and Intel code at the same time.
In other words, you can do PowerPC code distributing to Intel systems Intel code distributing to Intel systems PowerPC code distributing to PowerPC systems Intel code distributing to PowerPC systems PowerPC and Intel code distributing to Intel systems PowerPC and Intel code distributing to PowerPC systems but you can't do (anything) distributing to PowerPC and Intel systems
That's because the issue is the architecture the compiler is running on, not the architecture it's building for.
Hope this helps, Eric
