Build fails on OSX 10.6.6

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am not able to build numexpr on OSX 10.6.6 due to what appears to be lack of 
support for ppc in gcc 4.2.1 (see below). I have no interest in building for 
ppc architecture, but there does not appear to be a way of excluding it. Any 
idea how to get numexpr built on OSX?

I figured it out -- XCode 4 no longer supports ppc, so I had to do the 
following to keep numexpr from trying to build for ppc:

ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64" python setup.py build

Thanks
