[issue8366] OS X universal builds fail on 2.7b1 and py3k with "Don't know machine value for archs"

[Ned Deily]

Ned Deily <nad at acm.org> added the comment:

Setting CPPFLAGS to include the SDK is needed to make sure some of the autoconf tests work correctly by using the SDK's header files rather than  those from /.  But, you're right, it shouldn't throw away other CPPFLAGS settings. Plus that whole test there is suspect: it probably shouldn't be testing the build system version there.  There are various ways to handle this and opportunities to simplify the OS X SDK processing; plus all of the trees (trunk, py3k, 26, 31) should work the same way.  Let's see what Ronald prefers.
