python26 does not enforce build_arch

[bletofarine@…]

I'm running MacOSX 10.6.3 with an up-to-date port tree.

In order to build a i386-only python, I set my build_arch flag to i386 in my macports.conf file.

Unfortunately, it does not work. I tried to perform a port clean on python26, without success.

/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 -L/opt/local/lib -u _PyMac_Error Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Python -o python.exe \
			Modules/python.o \
			 -ldl  -framework CoreFoundation     
ld: warning: in Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Python, file is not of required architecture
Undefined symbols:
  "_PyMac_Error", referenced from:
  "_Py_Main", referenced from:
      _main in python.o
ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [python.exe] Error 1

I'm going to attach the complete build log to the ticket.

build log (sudo port -d install python26)

This would likely need some serious updates to the python build system; simpler may be to build for universal using 32&64 bit which is supposed to work for python26. Note you will need all dependencies built that way as well.

Ok. I don't think that it's worth any serious updates.

Can't reproduce with current versions of base and the port.

I just got this with python24, should I make a separate issue?

Yes, it's a different port with a different maintainer.
