</div>The thing is, as the note of FatELF says themselves, that it will<br>
require more space (to download & store), meaning you're pretty much<br>
no better off than having downloaded it twice in the first place. And<br>
again, considering that (for the *end user*, not people on this<br>
list..) this is probably not going to be such a common use case - that<br>
increased size is probably too much cost for little gain.<br></blockquote><div><br>that is what apple do in their universal binary format. it benefits for end-user who do not know detail what their device running on arm or x86. for the hacker want to reduce size, they can strip it to normal architecture-dependent binary too.<br>
