Compile PPC comaptible C Extension on OSX10.8?

I updated my Mac Mini from 10.5 with 10.8 - reformatting.

When I try to compile a C Extension now I get this error:

I take it it's something related to PPC... ?

When I remove the PPC parts then it compiles. So it's definitely missing PPC compiler. Might not be much of a problem, as 10.4 is very old and no longer supported.

However, I still get some warnings. Seems to be "-arch i386" this time. Should I just drop it all together?

Will this .bundle file work on older OSX? Down to 10.5?

@TT, what are the specs on your mini? and yes, I agree dump PPC support, even though I have a couple....

add 'HomeBrew' to your searches as someones bound to have packaged a compiler solution somewhere...

Don't have the specs at hand - but I think it's one of the late 2009 Intel Mac Minis.
