[issue11623] Distutils is reporting OSX 10.6 w/ XCode 4 as "universal"

A similar issue on StackOverflow reminded me that Distutils has support for the ARCHFLAGS environment variable on Mac OS X which you can use when building a C extension module to override the ARCH values that Python was built with.  I don't have Xcode 4 installed yet to verify this but you may be able to work around the problem by something like:

ARCHFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch x86_64' /usr/bin/python2.6 setup.py install

when using the Apple-supplied Python 2.6 or:

ARCHFLAGS='-arch i386' /usr/local/bin/pythonx.x setup.py install

when using a 32-bit-only python.org Python.
