How to convert project from PPC to Universal Binary?

I've been given a task to build a Universal Binary (Intel or PPC) for
a small application last built in 2006 on an OS-X machine for PPC
only. Since then this application has been running on Intel machines
with Rossetta.

I'm not familiar with XCode, being a Java developer, but did manage to
find the settings for Universal Binary. The problem is this project is
dependent on two *.a files - which I'm pretty sure are PPC assembly.
I've tried to recompile these files on my OS-X 10.5 iMac(intel) from
the source, but have several issues. (i.e. It is K&R C and needs gcc
3.3)  So, instead want to ask if there is a way to transcode the
original *.a file (ppc assembly) into something that the XCode project
can accept.

Does any program exist to do this transcoding.  What the the best ways
to proceed? I can give more detail on the project setup.

Alan
