Yeah, I think you're probably right there.

I'd wager there would be a fairly good chance that a PPC-only binary
on a Mac would most likely have been built on a PPC, and thus mention
that in the uname output at build time. I can't imagine many folks are
building PPC-only binaries on Intels.

How much money did you have in mind? :-)
