[issue10735] platform.architecture() gives misleading results for OS X multi-architecture executables

[Ronald Oussoren]

Ronald Oussoren <ronaldoussoren at mac.com> added the comment:

IMHO the change to 'bits' is bogus, it is supposed to return the bit-size of the executable, not that of the currently running executable.

I'd return all executable bitsizes in bits as '32bit', '64bit' or '32bit,64bit' (as appropriate) and only include the machine architectures in the linkage result.  

And finally the executable file format is 'Mach-O', not 'Mach'.

I can provide an updated patch if Marc-Andre agrees that this would be a usefull change.
