Christof,
Let's put this in a new DEVELOPER.txt file in the Pd root. I think it could be a good companion to the INSTALL.txt along with other lower-level details...

Hi,
apart from the "generic" library extensions (".pd_darwin", ".pd_linux", ".so" and ".dll"), Pd also supports platform specific extensions, with a OS prefix and the CPU architecture:
Prefixes:
"m_" -> Windows
"d_" -> macOS
"l_" -> Linux
"o_" -> OpenBSD
Architectures:
"amd64" -> Intel 64-bit
"i386" -> Intel 32-bit
"arm" -> Arm 32-bit
"arm64" -> Arm 64-bit
"ppc" -> PowerPC
In your case, you can ship two different binaries next to each other: ".d_i386" and ".d_amd64".
Finally, macOS also supports fat binaries, where several architectures are contained within a single binary. These have the extension ".d_fat".

I think info for developers will want to be a much larger thing than a single readme-type file - perhaps it should go in doc/1.manual?

That could work. We can then put a mention in INSTALL.txt.
INSTALL.txt the file was already there so I used that to expand the build overview and intro for people who haven't used a Unix-style build system before. I didn't think about the html docs. I did put a lot of the dirty details in the platform-specific readme, aka mac/README.txt & msw/README.txt but we could probably move all or some of those things to html, if it makes sense to do so.
