gcc isn't magic--it compiles based on whatever instructions are given to 
it. If you tell it to compile for a single architecture only, it will do 
that. If you tell it to compile as a universal binary and you have the 
appropriate libraries/SDK installed, it will do that instead.

I don't know, it worked for me on 10.4.10 Intel. I did things a bit 
differently than you--I ran "configure" and then "make" in two steps. 
Try that and see if it works.
