[Pythonmac-SIG] Universal build bug - Undefined symbols and pythonmac?

[Bob Ippolito]

I'm pretty sure that 10.4 would fix this. 10.3.9 isn't really equipped
to build extensions for a universal Python (it can only build the PPC
part). It runs them fine, but it can't build stuff properly because
the Xcode is too old.
