There are a couple of ways to get a "universal" app.

1) Use the magic of Xcode: set up a project for this and other  
commands you want to be universal, and then, under build settings,  
select the architectures you want.  Details are beyond the scope of  
this list :-}.  I think the doc for Xcode will give you some assistance.

2) Given that you have two versions (_32, _64), you can "lipo" them  
together as a universal object file.

If the command is "simple" (no libraries other than system-supplied  
ones), this builds 'cmd' as universal:
   cc -arch x86_64 -arch i386 cmd.c -o cmd

If the command requires non-system libraries (e.g., ones you build  
yourself), then your best bet is to build them separately, and then  
use "lipo" directly:
   lipo -arch i386 cmd-i386 -arch x86_64 cmd-x86_64 -output cmd -create
The "-arch xxx" bits are actually redundant; lipo figures this out for  
itself if you don't help.
