+ The darwin toolset can generate so called "fat"
+ binaries—binaries that can run support more than one
+ architecture, or address mode. To build a binary that can run both
+ on Intel and PowerPC processors, specify
+ <code>architecture=combined</code>. To build a binary that can run
+ both in 32-bit and 64-bit modes, specify
+ <code>address-model=32_64</code>. If you specify both of those
+ properties, a "4-way" fat binary will be generated.
