Yeah, osx support fat binaries that contains code from multiple architecture. -- Bean gitgrub home: http://github.com/grub/grub/ my fork page: http://github.com/bean123/grub/ _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
