Big +1 for this from my side.
Currently, the hybrid builds are a complete mess. For example, you can't use
GCC4 and link OpenSSL on a gcc2h build because the optional package is either
for gcc2 or gcc4 - no hybrid packages. FatELF would solve that issue very
elegantly.
It would also make it very easy for 3rd party applications to just distribute
one binary for every architecture, instead of limiting it to x86 because
cross-compilation is extra-effort. That would really be useful for PPC/ARM, so
developers don't need to set up extra crosstools, but already have all libs
they need on-board for other archs.
