I'm not trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill, here. I used
to have the same attitude towards autotools -- just pass "-arch
i386 -arch m68k -arch hppa -arch sparc" and all was well. Until
it wasn't -- until my code used some new API in my supposedly
correct multi-architecture binary open source goop started breaking
on 2 of the 4 architectures.
I still don't see what changing it to an Xcode project buys you aside
from forcing a thorough review of the code base to check for possible
multi-architecture problems.
It turns out that I'm not much of an IDE user, so a thorough review
of the possible multi-architecture problems and some careful editing
of m4, configure.ac and Makefile.am seems reasonable to me.
I'm still not disagreeing that the autotools handle multi-arch build
well, they don't, but converting everything to an Xcode project is
not the only solution.
I like having a build system that will work everywhere, using a
different build system for every platform would make my head explode.
