You can build things with multiple architectures within the same
executables/objects. See:

  http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/InstallationOnMacOSX
  http://developer.apple.com/releasenotes/OpenSource/PerlExtensionsRelNotes/index.html
  http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_frm/thread/7bef767753fe40f1

for some guidance.
