Okay, then that definitely suggests that this is a theory for Dave L.
to pursue. In a universal build you need to do ./configure twice to
generate two different pg_config.h files. I imagine his "helpful
fellow" knew that already, if he'd been able to generate universal
binaries with Xcode 2.5, but maybe 3.0 is messing it up somehow.
