 From my Makefile.pre.in:

RESSRCDIR=$(srcdir)/Mac/OSXResources/framework
$(PYTHONFRAMEWORKDIR)/Versions/$(VERSION)/$(PYTHONFRAMEWORK): \
                 $(LIBRARY) \
                 $(RESSRCDIR)/Info.plist \
                 $(RESSRCDIR)/version.plist \
                 $(RESSRCDIR)/English.lproj/InfoPlist.strings
         $(INSTALL) -d -m $(DIRMODE) $(PYTHONFRAMEWORKDIR)/Versions/$ 
(VERSION)
         case "${LDFLAGS}" in \
         *"-arch i386"*"-arch ppc"*|*"-arch ppc"*"-arch i386"*) \
                 libtool -o $(LDLIBRARY).i386 -dynamic $ 
(OTHER_LIBTOOL_OPT) $(LIBRARY) -arch_only i386 \
                         @LIBTOOL_CRUFT@ ;\
                 libtool -o $(LDLIBRARY).ppc -dynamic $ 
(OTHER_LIBTOOL_OPT) $(LIBRARY)  -arch_only ppc \
                         @LIBTOOL_CRUFT@ ;\
                 lipo -create -output $(LDLIBRARY) -arch i386 $ 
(LDLIBRARY).i386 -arch ppc $(LDLIBRARY).ppc ;\
                 rm $(LDLIBRARY).i386 $(LDLIBRARY).ppc ;\
                 ;; \
         *"-arch i386"*) \
                 libtool -o $(LDLIBRARY).i386 -dynamic $ 
(OTHER_LIBTOOL_OPT) $(LIBRARY) -arch_only i386 \
                         @LIBTOOL_CRUFT@ ;\
                 ;; \
         *"-arch ppc"*) \
                 libtool -o $(LDLIBRARY).i386 -dynamic $ 
(OTHER_LIBTOOL_OPT) $(LIBRARY) -arch_only ppc \
                         @LIBTOOL_CRUFT@ ;\
                 ;; \
         *) \
                 libtool -o $(LDLIBRARY) -dynamic $ 
(OTHER_LIBTOOL_OPT) $(LIBRARY) -arch_only `machine` \
                         @LIBTOOL_CRUFT@ ;\
                 ;; \
         esac

This is very ugly. As you have noted you can't just drop -arch ppc  
because libtool than assumes that you want to do a 3-way universal  
build. Probably because libSystem contains a ppc64 binary.

I hope to have a script for building a "batteries included" universal  
build of python by the end of this weekend.
