I think it’s neat how this acknowledges the reality that the actual meat of the machine code is identical for every x86_64 target— all that's different is the OS interface. So unlike other "fat binary" schemes where there's a lot of duplication, this one has a single main program and then small shims to provide the Linux ABI on MacOS and Windows.
