Ronald Oussoren added the comment:

I don't recall exactly why the universal build support is done the way it is, 
adding it is too long ago.  

The reason is likely no longer relevant with any reasonably up-to-date toolset. 
The patch was created around the time x86 support was added to OSX and at the 
time there were numerous rough edges (and IIRC I worked on this using a 
Developer Transition Kit at work, that is before Apple shipped consumer 
hardware with x86 support, let alone non-beta software with x86 support)
