It's not machine independent so much as multi-target.  The file
structure is basically:

    32-bit header
    32-bit data
    64-bit header
    64-bit data

Recent versions leave out the 32-bit data unless you pass -b fat on the
command line.  To a legacy binary, that looks like a valid file (the
32-bit header is still present) with no transitions.
