I'm no exper for x86 but it should work fine
as long as your code does not deal (or does deal well)
with architecture-specific features such as byte ordering.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
If you compile your standard Unix apps as fat binaries, then they will work on Darwin, ppc, x86, and Mac OS X. The proprietary API's are inaccessible in Darwin-only installations like GNU-Darwin-x86, but there are some stub functions present. If you are building an Aqua OS X interface app, then you will need an Apple box for that.
Write apps for MacosX on GNU-DARWIN ?
If I write an app on x86 in c++ in Darwin, can I copy this to my 10.2.2 Jaguar X on my g3 and work straight away.
