Comment (by barracuda156):

 Replying to [comment:3 kencu]:
 > 2. build a new gcc cross compiler that has both intel and power
 components, lipo them together into one big compiler (just like apple-
 gcc42 does) and write an updated front-end (driverdriver.c) that handles
 the arch flags and lipos the build products together.
 > Option 2 is doable today -- that is exactly what Apple did for gcc-4.2
 after all, and all that code is sitting there in the apple-gcc42 port.

 Is this solution working?
