Because I want one (set of) executable(s) that can be run on BOTH architectures. I want to run it on lots of machines, and I'm not the one installing it, so I can't expect my support guys to compile it every time, that takes way too long. I need just a tarball that my support guys can expand and *poof* they're done.
