"Universal build" means compiling the code for multiple architectures into a
single .dylib file.  It's a hack that OS/X does to compile for, say, x86_64 and
x86, or previously, x86 and powerpc.

It's really not possible to do this generically on something as big and complex
as GStreamer.  Notably, it fails on assembly code.  It also fails for things
like glibconfig.h, which is a different header on different architectures.

Since it is fairly straightforward to combine the .dylib/.so files created by
two separate builds (there's a tool on OS/X specifically for this), I have
never considered it a reasonable goal to support universal building at the
compiler level.
