However, I can run PPC apps fine with it though (Rosetta), so it's not 
like the builds can't be tested :-)  I also build PPC application 
bundles with Qt with OS X 10.6, and they run fine on PPC machines with 
OS X 10.5.  Which happens to be the reason I installed MacPorts btw, 
since I was unable to build the SDL libs myself (the supplied "fat" 
build script for building it universal seems broken.)

I see this same problem when trying to build libsdl_mixer for i386 (in a MacPorts prefix on Snow Leopard with build_arch set to i386). So I filed a bug report for that issue:

Thanks.  I didn't file one myself since I wanted to make sure first it's 
not some mistake on my part.
