2007-04-30 15:51 AEST by Arthur Barrett - It really should use "lipo -thin" I think (as the error message suggests).  I tried this on the command 
line and it works:

$ lipo -thin i386 /Users/abarrett/cvs/cvsnt/protocols/ntlm/lib/.libs/libgnu.a -output /Users/abarrett/
cvs/cvsnt/protocols/ntlm/lib/.libs/libgnu-i386.a
$ lipo -thin ppc /Users/abarrett/cvs/cvsnt/protocols/ntlm/lib/.libs/libgnu.a -output /Users/abarrett/
cvs/cvsnt/protocols/ntlm/lib/.libs/libgnu-ppc.a
$ (cd ./cvsnt/protocols/ntlm/.libs/libntlm.lax/libgnu.a && ar x /Users/abarrett/cvs/cvsnt/protocols/
ntlm/lib/.libs/libgnu-i386.a)

This appears to be libtools fauilt (ltmain.sh), eg: 
func_extract_an_archive ()
{
    f_ex_an_ar_dir="$1"; shift
    f_ex_an_ar_oldlib="$1"

    $show "(cd $f_ex_an_ar_dir && $AR x $f_ex_an_ar_oldlib)"
    $run eval "(cd \$f_ex_an_ar_dir && $AR x \$f_ex_an_ar_oldlib)" || exit $?
    if ($AR t "$f_ex_an_ar_oldlib" | sort | sort -uc >/dev/null 2>&1); then
     :
    else
      $echo "$modename: ERROR: object name conflicts: $f_ex_an_ar_dir/$f_ex_an_ar_oldlib" 1>&2
      exit $EXIT_FAILURE
    fi
}

I suppose the problem could be the build sequnce (ie: the library should ot YET be a fat binary).  Either 
way, we'll stick with thin binaries for now.
