Comment (by mouse07410):

 I've a naive question: I understand perfectly why one wants to build for
 arm64, or for x86_64... I fail to understand why one would want "fat" aka
 "universal", rather than building a specific architecture-targeting
 binaries.

 If it were up to me, I'd deprecate "universal" altogether.
