[GRASS-dev] portable.h alternatives? [was: include/portable.h?]

[William Kyngesburye]

Speaking of portable.h, I had to mess with this recently so I could  
get a Universal Mac binary.  It involves saving a copy configured on  
both platforms and creating a custom portable.h which is  
conditionalized on __BIG_ENDIAN__ (an OS X compiler def).

Would it be possible to somehow make this so it doesn't need to be  
generated at compile time?  or make it cross-compiler friendly?  Or  
maybe there is already an option for that?  Or some other way of  
handling this architecture endian/size thing.  Something to make a  
Universal build on OS X simpler.  Other than getting the universal  
build flags in the right place, this is the main sticky point for an  
easy universal build.

The only other alternative is separate builds on each architecture.   
Then lipo to merge them together.
