Several problems with configurations not properly propagating through the
long build chain it seems.That is if I am setting this up correctly--there
is always the possibility this is pilot error in the setup.

1) configure architecture=combined should be the default and provide a
universal 32-bit architecture file:

          but the build is done for only the i386 architecture (no ppc) for
the dylibs

# all libraries are built as dynamic libraries supporting only the native
architecture, in this case i386, and are not multi-architecture
$find ./bin.v2 -type f -regex ".*dylib" -exec lipo -info {} \;

2) configure architecture=combined link=static should result in a combined
architecture static library build:

         but only two files end up as static and neither is
multi-architecture:

# searching for static libraries yields only two matches and neither is
multi-architecture
$find ./bin.v2 -type f -regex ".*a" -exec lipo -info {} \;
input file
./bin.v2/libs/test/build/darwin/release/link-static/macosx-version-10.4/threading-multi/libboost_test_exec_monitor-mt-1_35.a
is not a fat file
Non-fat file:
./bin.v2/libs/test/build/darwin/release/link-static/macosx-version-10.4/threading-multi/libboost_test_exec_monitor-mt-1_35.a

# the rest of the libraries are still built as dynamic libraries and none
are multi-architecture
