That's the hard way to do things, if you don't mind to spent some  
time checking the code you try to compile you can usually tweak  
header files and use '-arch ppc -arch i386' to build a universal  
binary in one go. This is a lot more convenient when building  
universal binaries and is what's used to build Python as a universal  
binary.
