I think I found the cause of this and it's fixed in r22116. It appears
that something changed in distutils so that py2app didn't think it
needed to install a universal bootstrap binary. I changed the build
process to set the environment variable ARCHFLAGS which makes distutils
detect a universal environment. Thanks for taking the time to make this
report.
