I have NOT heard of a Universal Binary for Linux, does one exist?

In the Mac world (I know! what can I say?) there are universal binaries
that run on PPC or Intel-- the same binary (OS also) runs on different
chipsets.

I know NOTHING about this, except that it works. Anyone know if someone
is working on something like this for Linux?

a USB key that would work on any hardware (well, PPC and Intel to start)
sounds good to me :)
