I build a standalone from Max 4.6 running on Mac 10.3.9, on a PPC.

It doesn't appear as a Universal Binary on Macintels.

Do I need Mac OS 10.3.4 to build real UB, or do I need a Macintel?

What do you mean by "it doesn't appear as UB" ? In order to create an 

Universal binary you need 4.6 or higher. You shouldn't have to do 

anything special (just make sure, the third party objects you may use 

are UB too). The resulting application will be compatible with 10.3.9

(10.4 is recommended though).

Your application does not contain any mac tel code. So the 

application is loaded with rosetta. When you build a standalone 

application, it build something based on Max Runtime. If you look at 

its info in the Finder, does it says it's Universal binary (I can't 

remember if you can have access to that information on Mac 10.3.9 

though). Is that possible that you used one of those software which 

clean your OS by removing all mac tel code to save some space?
