Following the above error,

That's a warning, not an error.

it appears that a link was attempted, and then finally this error was displayed:

ld64 failed: in libpython2.5.a(getbuildinfo.o), not a valid ppc64 mach-o file libtool: internal link edit command failed make: *** [libpython2.5.dylib] Error 1

Probably, the line immediately preceding this has more relevant information. From this, it just looks like you're attempting to build a ppc64 version of python25. I don't think it builds ppc64 by default (at least, it didn't on my PPC G5), so you may have something in your environment that you modified that is causing the build problem. -- Daniel J.
