What with one thing or another, that's how I've had to build everything so far - build once for each and merge them. Tho with my limited skills, I've taken a more rough approach - build ppc, duplicate and clean, add in i386 options manually to makefiles, build, merge using the same link commands as the package uses. I didn't know about lipo, that looks like it would simplify the merging.
I think I can wait for a universal build of python, and just build the python bits ppc-only for now. Not many (if any) will be able to test the i386 side yet.
