Hmm. Interesting. Doing some digging in the build log I encountered  
stuff like this:

/usr/local/bin/gfortran -Wall -arch ppc -arch i686 -arch x86_64 -Wall - 
undefined dynamic_lookup -bundle build/temp.macosx-10.5-universal-2.6/ 
build/src.macosx-10.5-universal-2.6/specfunmodule.o build/ 
temp.macosx-10.5-universal-2.6/build/src.macosx-10.5-universal-2.6/ 
fortranobject.o -Lbuild/temp.macosx-10.5-universal-2.6 -lsc_specfun - 
lgfortran -o build/lib.macosx-10.5-universal-2.6/special/specfun.so

Looking at the .o's and .so's generated, gcc is definitely generating  
ppc64-capable binaries. gfortran (it's the AT&T one to which you  
usually point people) *seems* perfectly capable of generating ppc64  
binaries (it doesn't complain when run with -arch ppc64).

I've upgraded to the latest gfortran from the AT&T R Tools page and  
tried mucking with FFLAGS, F90FLAGS, F77FLAGS, etc. No dice.

Anyone have ideas for anything else I should try?
