This results in x86_64 binaries only, unfortunately. However…

…success!

> export UNIVERSAL_SDK_PATH=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/
> export CFLAGS="-mmacosx-version-min=10.5"

> make libs-only

I suspect the problem with my earlier attempts was that I was exporting the environment variables in question to configure, but not to make. Regardless, this is nicely intention-revealing and very easy.

Thanks very much for your help, everyone; if no one objects, I will make a page on the LLVM wiki about fat builds for OS X.

Sincerely,
Rob
