As we all know, Mac OS X has support for what is called 'fat binaries'. These are binaries that can carry code for for instance multiple architectures - in the case of the Mac, PowerPC and x86. Ryan Gordon was working on an implementation of fat binaries for Linux - but due to the conduct of the Linux maintainers, Gordon has halted the effort.

Who wants to have mantain a binary for each distros packaging system etc etc
stop posting about things you know nothing of.... NOTHING prevents vendors from distributing a package that works on all distributions _AND_ architectures today... and for that matter, 10 years ago either, its simply blatent incompetence on the part of "ISVs"
