Not sure I understand -- you do seem to have those flags in the cc  
command I left quoted above.  Also, building with "python  
setup.py" (as always recommended for compiling and linking Python  
extensions) already specifies those flags, so that exporting that  
LDFLAGS causes an error due to the repetition...:

gcc -arch ppc -arch i386 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -g  
-bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup -arch ppc -arch i386 -Wl,- 
syslibroot,/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk build/temp.macosx-10.4- 
fat-2.4/src/gmpy.o -L/usr/local/lib -lgmp -o build/lib.macosx-10.4- 
fat-2.4/gmpy.so

/usr/bin/ld: -syslibroot: multiply specified
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
/usr/bin/ld: -syslibroot: multiply specified
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

etc.  Maybe I misunderstand what you're suggesting...?


Thanks,
