I followed the instructions under "Obtaining and Building NumPy and SciPy on
this page: http://www.scipy.org/Installing_SciPy/Mac_OS_X . There it says
that the above command *extends* the build flags. So that info is wrong? Or
maybe I'm still not understanding something.

To be clear, I'm just trying to build scipy on my own machine, so I can test
the numpy binary installer against it. I'm not trying to build a scipy
installer. Although figuring out how to do that would be good as well.
