Comment(by mattias@…):

 After some experimenting I have had a conclusion that this is not
 something we can solve.
 I did a workaround for this bug by creating my own version of the "arch"
 command,
 the bug is in that python relies on this command to decide how to build
 certain things.

 The function of the arch command is to report which architecture we are
 running, as the kernel is running
 in i386 mode, while the userland is (mostly) 64bit it get things wrong.

 When I created my own version to correct this, I have found out we can't
 build a framework on snowleopard
 as there are things deep within the Python modules that require two
 things:

 1. Deprecated system frameworks in general
 2. Stuff from the Carbon framework that is not even included.

 This will pretty much be unresolvable for the time being, without help
 from the python community.
 I will report my findings upstream to them.
