FIrst attempt was a fat (32-bit i386 and ppc) build on 10.5 targeted for 10.3 and above; this is the similar to recent python.org OSX installers.

What's the proper way to create such a build? I've been trying:

./configure --with-universal-archs=32-bit --enable-framework --enable-universalsdk=/ MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5

but the configure AC_C_BIGENDIAN macro doesn't seem to pick up on the universality: the output from ./configure contains the line:

checking whether byte ordering is bigendian... no

I was expecting a "... universal" instead of "... no".

From reading the autoconf manual, it seems as though ACCBIGENDIAN knows some magic to make things work for universal builds; it ought to be possible to imitate that magic somehow.
