I have tried with mixed sucess


Failed with Apple Python
In the 'normal setup.py' bit
gcc -arch ppc -arch i386 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -O2 -pedantic -W -Wformat -Wunused -Wimplicit -Wreturn-type -Wswitch -Wcomment -Wtrigraphs -Wformat -Wchar-subscripts -Wuninitialized -Wparentheses -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Waggregate-return -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Winline -Wredundant-decls -arch ppc -arch i386 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -o xmllint xmllint.o  ./.libs/libxml2.a -lpthread -lz /usr/lib/libiconv.dylib -lm  
ld: library not found for -lcrt1.10.5.o
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Exception: Command "make" returned code 2

If the -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk is removed then it worked

worked with
python.org 2.6 version dual architecture
macports single arcitecture python

I have also tested these two with no isysroot and that worked.q

Now I don't understand how the parameters got passed through to the
setup.py as Stefan's code only passes it to the configure builds. It
seems like the environment is globally set

Also should the '--disable-dependency-tracking' parameter to
configure_cmd be only for darwin?
