[Distutils] $MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET mismatch

Well, I found out that if before compiling my python I set

export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3

and then do all the rest, then I get easy_install to work.

Besides, I had the same error trying to install cx_Oracle.

So, somehow my python (or setuptools) need to build for "10.3".

For me it's a bug in setuptools since the function that do this check and
raise the error are from setuptools package.
