We can't narrow it down to a single Intel Mac per OS anyway
because one of the problems is that some software doesn't cross-
compile correctly. The point is to eliminate the need for cross-
compiling by compiling natively on each type of Mac.
Right, but with rosetta, you *should* (I haven't tried it) be able
to setup a ppc chroot and within that chroot it'll look and feel
like ppc as far as your build train is concerned (thus it's not
"cross" compiling specifically). But still, the lack of ppc64
support within rosetta is probably the bigger issue (atleast in my
mind)
Ah, well that would be somewhat entertaining, but unless Rosetta is
going to grow ppc64 emulation soon, I don't think we need to expend
any energy implementing that.
