Log:
Mention a configure warning that almost certainly indicates that 
configure is picking up a library that doesn't contain all architectures
required for a universal build on OSX.

+Configure warnings
+==================
+
+The configure script sometimes emits warnings like the one below::
+
+   configure: WARNING: libintl.h: present but cannot be compiled
+   configure: WARNING: libintl.h:     check for missing prerequisite headers?
+   configure: WARNING: libintl.h: see the Autoconf documentation
+   configure: WARNING: libintl.h:     section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
+   configure: WARNING: libintl.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result   
+   configure: WARNING: libintl.h: in the future, the compiler will take precedence
+   configure: WARNING:     ## -------------------------------------- ##
+   configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to http://bugs.python.org/ ##
+   configure: WARNING:     ## -------------------------------------- ##
+
+This almost always means you are trying to build a universal binary for
+Python and have libaries in ``/usr/local`` that don't contain the required
+architectures. Temporarily move ``/usr/local`` aside to finish the build.
