I didn't realise this thanks.

OK I've done this and it works now.  There aren't any makefiles in  
PIL, it's all done through a setup.py script.  If anyone is  
insterested, I used the following awful hack: after the lines

from distutils import sysconfig
from distutils.core import Extension, setup
from distutils.command.build_ext import build_ext

add the following lines

OrigExtension = Extension
def Extension(*args, **kwargs):
     extra_args = ['-arch', 'ppc', '-arch', 'ppc64', '-arch', 'i386',  
'-arch', 'x86_64']
     kwargs['extra_compile_args'] = extra_args +  
kwargs.get('extra_args', [])
     kwargs['extra_link_args'] = extra_args +  
kwargs.get('extra_link_args', [])
     return OrigExtension(*args, **kwargs)


Then every extension built in the script is built for all 4  
architectures.

Thanks again for your feedback and advice, even though this problem is  
not related to mod_python in the end.
