On OSX it is possible to compile using an SDK, which is basicly a directory tree containing include files and shared library stubs. When building using an SDK (such as the 10.4u SDK) the compiler looks in the SDK subtree instead of / (that is, look for include files in $SDKROOT/usr/include instead of /usr/include, and simularly for other locations). Python's setup.py should do the same thing when performing build-time tests, such as looking for header files or libraries. BTW. I'm planning to work on a patch for this, the issue is mostly here to remind me that something needs to be done.
