Well, you'd need it if you want backward compatibility (with an older 
ABI) but, no, you wouldn't need -sysroot just to produce i386 and x86_64 
on a 64-bit capable machine running 10.6.

Getting back to your previous post: "But I can't seem to get it to work 
-- it just uses the last architecture specified."   Perhaps you're 
calling ld(1) directly?  To link multiple-arch executables (etc), the 
Apple gcc driver does the dirty work of calling ld multiple times and 
lipo-ing the results.  See the Apple ld(1) man page.
