Subject: Re: fat binaries ?
Date: Thu, 30 May 1996 00:21:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <199605300721.DAA10378@delasyd.gnu.ai.mit.edu> (raw)

I don't think it is essential to have fat binaries.
In fact I think it is more convenient to use other techniques
such as architecture-dependent symlinks together with separate
directories for the various architectures.

But if a convention is established for multi-architecture binaries, we
might as well support it.  All that would be needed would be a simple
program to extract and install subfiles in an archive of that kind.

This is a modular design which would not involve any changes in the C
compiler or GAS, and perhaps not even in the binutils.
