universal binary won't compile

[Robert DuToit]

Hi Again,
Sorry to keep posting about this. There seems to be a lot of confusion  
trying to get compatibility with various Mac architectures and OS.  
Sven Peters was able to compile on an intel Mac running leopard using

 >patch -p1 <patches/flags.diff
 >patch -p1 <patches/crtimes.diff
 >./configure CFLAGS="-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch  
ppc -arch i386" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-syslibroot,/Developer/SDKs/ 
MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch ppc -arch i386"
 >make

it works on his intel as well as my PPC.
Mac (also leopard) I get this on the configure log below. " C compiler  
cannot create executables"

I would need to compile on tiger PPC Mac to have it be universal and  
compatible upward with leopard. Thanks Rob D
