I'm not quite sure what to make of this response.  It seems to me that  
if a Python library is trying to find a PPC binary on an Intel machine  
that's a bug in the Python library.  Also it's looking in the  
MacOSX10.4u.sdk directory, but this machine is running 10.5 (.7),  
which seems like another bug.

So... is this a bug, or am I doing something stupid?  If it's a bug,  
am I the only person encountering it?  Can I do anything to help fix it?
