I've been working on this and it does need to be thoroughly fixed.  There are 
two different aspects to it: (1) being able to build Python using any of the 
supported development environment options; and (2) support in Distutils and 
packaging to build extension modules for any of the supported development 
options.  With the release of the Command Line Tools for 10.7 and beyond (and 
with the dangling mess of 10.6 with both Xcode 3.2.6 and Xcode 4.2 
installations out there), we need to be able to support multiple options for 
users and builders of universal builds.  Apple does supply tools to deal with 
development environments installed in arbitrary locations (primarily, 
xcode-select and xcrun) but there are some gaps in them for supporting 
command-line-based builds, like a convenient way to find the absolute path to 
the SDK.  I'm working on patches for all of this right now.  I'm hopeful we 
will end up with a major increase in usability to users of universal builds.
