For example, on my Mac OS X system, building creates these two directories:

./build/lib.darwin-6.3-Power Macintosh-2.3 ./build/temp.darwin-6.3-Power Macintosh-2.3 I assume this is a configure thing, accepting the output of uname -m without further processing.

No, it's a distutils thing -- the code to change is get_platform() in Lib/distutils/util.py. Should probably munge all the strings returned by os.uname() to remove characters that don't belong on filenames.
