It is possible to build fat binaries that run on 10.3. Qt and Python
did it, for example:

The key, it seems, it to make sure that the 10.3 arch is the first in
the binary:

I think the d_fat and d_ppc business is only necessary for folks who
are maintaining backward compatibility to 10.3 which can't read d_fat
files. I think it's a good thing to try to keep things running on older
machines since lots of Pd users can't afford to buy the newest ones.
However, it's geting hard for me to stay 10.3 compatible as the only remaining
10.3 machine around here is getting sick.cheers Miller

Um, Java .jar is the same on all platforms. And JNI files
are .jnilib on Mac OS X regardless of CPU, and .dll on Windows regardless of CPU. AFAIK, Windows DLLs are .dll regardless of whether they are 32-bit or 64-bit. Even GNU/Linux .so and .a files are the same regardless of
CPU.it. NeXTSTEP/Mac OS X has been doing this since '94, and their solution has been fat binaries all with the same extension. That is what universal binaries are today. It's proven to work well.
ok: here is a feature request for fat binaries including linux (i386, x86_64) and windows (i386) binaries.
I wasn't saying anything about GNU/Linux or Windows. I was talking Mac OS X. .pd_darwin is all that is needed. .d_fat, etc cause more troubles than the fix.
