Comment(by mattias@…):

 Ok I have found the problem, the bug is an upstream bug in python and the
 problem is line 461 in the Makefile for python, it looks something like
 this:


 {{{
 -lSystem -lSystemStubs -arch_only i386 -install_name
 $(PYTHONFRAMEWORKINSTALLDIR)/Versions/$(VERSION)/$(PYTHONFRAMEWORK)
 -compatibility_version $(V     ERSION) -current_version $(VERSION) ;
 }}}


 This means libtool is instructed to ONLY accept a python.o file in the
 i386 binary format, while what we are compiling is a x86_64 binary.
 If you change that line to:


 {{{
 -lSystem -lSystemStubs -arch_only x86_64 -install_name
 $(PYTHONFRAMEWORKINSTALLDIR)/Versions/$(VERSION)/$(PYTHONFRAMEWORK)
 -compatibility_version $(V     ERSION) -current_version $(VERSION) ;
 }}}


 However this will not solve it all, it will break things as I now get this
 error from macports:

 Also changed the configure.args section in the Portfile to include
 "--with-universal-archs=64-bit"

 I will continue to look into this.
