A couple notes:

- you can now compile a 64bit PyQt - install Qt Cocoa 4.6.  Then add --arch=x86_64 to SIP config, and no need for the --usearch= flag in the pyqt config.

- the default configuration puts the python module, executables and headers in the system Python framework.  This is really not a good thing to do (leave the /System to Apple).  Better to put them in user locations with some extra flags.  For SIP:

python configure.py -n -d /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages -b /usr/local/bin -e /usr/local/include -v /usr/local/share/sip --arch=i386 --arch=x86_64

For PyQt:

python2.6 configure.py -d /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages -b /usr/local/bin

look further up in the Terminal output for when it's compiling one of those bad object files, what is the c++ command and is there any error after it?
