That sounds like a reasonable setup. The use case here is to build
darwintrace.dylib for all architectures that can be run on the build
system. If we only built darwintrace.dylib for the standard
architecture, a build tool compiled for a different arch (e.g. a
i386-version of make) could not be loaded with the darwintrace library,
breaking trace mode for this binary.

Building for all four architectures isn't necessary, but probably won't
do any harm, either.
