Universal Binaries - all architectures
--------------------------------------

The preferred method to produce universal binaries for all supported architectures is to pass the following option to configure. As of this writing, architectures { i386, x86_64, ppc, ppc64 } are built.

     ../configure --enable-ub

Universal Binaries - selected architectures
-------------------------------------------

The preferred method to produce universal binaries for selected architectures is to specify a comma-delimited list specifying the desired architecture identifiers. Passing the following option will produce universal binaries for architectures { i386, x86_64 }.

     ../configure --enable-ub=i386,x86_64
