7 # Determine whether the compiler is or may be producing universal binaries.
9 # On Mac OS X 10.5 and later systems, the user can create libraries and
10 # executables that work on multiple system types--known as "fat" or
11 # "universal" binaries--by specifying multiple '-arch' options to the
12 # compiler but only a single '-arch' option to the preprocessor. Like
15 # ./configure CC="gcc -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc -arch ppc64" \
16 # CXX="g++ -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc -arch ppc64" \
17 # CPP="gcc -E" CXXCPP="g++ -E"
19 # Detect this situation and set APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD accordingly.
