AVRDUDE doesn't know anything about Apple's PPC architecture. ;-)

I'm afraid all this relates to some XCode setup rather than anything
with AVRDUDE itself.  All the AVRDUDE build process does is to call
"make", and in turn the compiler, to generate the binary.  It's up to
the compiler to do what you want.

I guess you might get more hints by asking in some MacOS forum or
mailinglist where developers using XCode are around.  They don't need
to know anything about AVRDUDE itself, all you have to tell them is
that the project Makefile framework is generated by autconf/automake.

We have some work underway to fully separate all the AVRDUDE backend
functionality into a shared library, with "main.c" (and "term.c")
being just one frontend.  This might be a future option for you to
include AVRDUDE's functionality directly into your application,
without calling an external binary.  However, that work is not yet
fully done by now.
