Ok, I will try that after resolving the issue below.

Well, probably I am not doing the right thing as I don't know, really, how to use the "build" parameter.  Any pointers I could look into?  And would that mean that a module is build twice (once for each architecture) and the sort of merged into one universal binary?  I kinda like the way it works now with the -arch keyword twice on the command line and the compiler going over the source files twice, and the result automatically being assembled in a single binary,
