[Pythonmac-SIG] 2.6 universal problems

[Chris Kees]

I'm running into a problem building/installing from svn source r65809 for
the 64-bit universal configuration on 10.5. The installer can't find the
FSpOpenResFile function during the install phase. Here is a summary of what
is happening:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'FSpOpenResFile'
make[1]: *** [installmacsubtree] Error 1
make: *** [frameworkinstallmaclib] Error 2

I looked in the Mac subdirectory at the source for the _Res extension module
where FSpOpenResFile is defined, but it looks like if _LP64_ is defined
these function definitions are skipped. Also, if I build the 32-bit or 4-way
('all') universals I get the same output from 'make test' but the installer
is happy. After some additional testing with the 4-way universal I'm
beginning to find that it has some problems with some extension modules when
run as 64-bit, which is why I went back to test the 64-bit  universal. Does
anybody recognize this error? Is anybody actually using a 64-bit framework
build on OSX 10.5 (of 2.6 or 2.5.2)?
