Configure will die on Darwin with the message Unexpected output of 'arch' on OSX when GNU arch is in use. The following patch simply adds the output as given by GNU arch to allow a successful configure run.

Note that with current trunk and in-the-pipeline proposed changes, configure is depending on using the Apple-supplied enhanced version of arch on 10.5+ (e.g. to force execution in 32-bit mode) so, while the patch here doesn't harm anything, it points to another potential problem: configure should probably ensure it *is* using the Apple arch.

I agree with Ned: the correct patch is to hardcode usage of /usr/bin/arch, because that's the one the build environment is expecting to use and the only one I care to support.

I've applied a patch to use /usr/bin/arch instead of just 'arch' in r7715 (trunk). I will port this to the other branches soonish.

BTW, I believe there is a problem with ARCH_RUN_32BIT as it stands: as far as I can tell, unlike lipo, /usr/bin/arch requires -ppc and rejects -ppc7400 regardless if the executable is -arch ppc7400 or -arch ppc.

Ned: I fixed the ARCH_RUN_32BIT definition for 3-way universal builds in r78150. Also ported the patch to 2.6, 3.2 and 3.1.
