Resolving that would certainly be one small step helping
packagers to solve some of the multi-arch issues.
Bring this to the attention of the libtool and autoconf crew, it's
precisely
what they set out to fix, right?
I don't think so. The whole idea is that darwin provides a single
library and executable that bundles multiple architectures; and
so the selection of which to use, in a lib, depends on the compiler
flags passed when building the consumer. So, for example, a long
in this bundled lib is *both* 4 and 8 bytes. Which one that will
be used depends on whether the consumer wants to use one or the
other.
IMO, we either need to wrap these as originally attempted or provide
another layer of abstraction...
