As far as I can tell, there is nothing in Config that exposes just the
-arch switches without any other stuff. I'm inclined to go with Jan
Otto's solution of sed'ing out those switches by name. It's a bit ugly
but should be safe.
BTW, I realized that the same problem exists already on OS X 10.5;
you can see it in buildfarm member korat's results, for instance.
10.5 seems to just use "-arch ppc -arch i386", but that's still more
than you want if you're not building PG as a universal binary.
