This wastes a lot of disk space and download bandwidth and probably also
increases loading times for NO reason whatsoever. It also doubles the build
times for any and all software. Just figure out what arch your machine is
and install the correct package for your arch! Fat binaries are a method to
make crappy binary-only software distribution easier, they have no room on a
Free Software system. Let the Mac folks keep their fat crap and leave our
binaries as native for the appropriate arch!
