This looks like a problem with Qt v4.5.3 where it's insisting on building
for i386 (even if you have "CONFIG -= x86" in your .pro file).

It would be interesting to compare the contents of Qt's
mkspecs/features/mac directory with an earlier version of Qt. If they are
different then this is what you would need to hack at.

You could also try adding "CONFIG -= x86" to the top of the qtdirs.pro file
that PyQt's configure.py generates and run qmake manually on it to see if
the "-arch i386" still appears in the Makefile.
