Universal Binaries for small tools

There are a lot of little Unix utilities that are distributed as a single source file for Unix-based OSes, such as dd_rescue and cups-pdf. A lot of these wind up inside Mac programs one way or another, but usually the developer is building in Xcode and the tool will be made Universal automatically by the build environment.

 

Sometimes, though, practicality says that you just need to compile the binary and send it off, so for that I'll explain the very, very simple process. This is more for non-developers that come across a tool they like and want to use it on a mix of systems than it is for the developers out there that probably have come across this already (I know I've been doing it for some time now).
