Configuring with 

sihpc03:Python-2.6 anand$ ./configure --with-framework-name=Python64 --
with-universal-archs=all --enable-framework --enable-
universalsdk=MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5

on an Intel Mac Pro with the latest Leopard and Apple gcc 4.0, I get 
many errors like the following instructing me to report a bug. My 
config.log file is attached.

It is possible gcc to compile for multiple architectures at same time ?

Yes. Apple's gcc driver knows how to deal with multiple -arch flags.

I think you want --enable-universalsdk=/ MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5

That worked, thanks Mark. make worked fine also, but make install failed 
at the end with

I located the problem, it's in the configure line:

 ./configure --with-framework-name=Python64 --
with-universal-archs=all --enable-framework --enable-
universalsdk=MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5

That's wrong because the argument for --enable-universalsdk should be a 
filesystem path for the SDK. In this case the following command-line 
will work:

./configure --with-framework-name=Python64 --
with-universal-archs=all --enable-framework --enable-
universalsdk=/
