But I'd expect that there are already similar issues with a 'fat' build of py3k on OS X. After all, there's already a 'WORDSBIGENDIAN' in pyconfig.h.in. I don't know where this is used.

It's used e.g. in unicode encoding/decoding, and in the IO lib. If that constant can't take different values depending on the CPU arch, we have a big problem.

Antoine.
