[Qt-interest] Static build error: "can't figure out the architecture type..."

[Stan Warford]

Hello all,

I am trying to do a static build of Qt to deploy my app, which  
compiles and runs fine with Creator and the binary distribution of Qt.  
I start with

./configure -static -universal -sdk /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk

which appears to execute correctly. But when I follow that with

make sub-src

I get the following error after a while

======================

I can cd to

/var/folders/oz/ozwPKB1JGSGPI1bsCDdzxE+++TI/-Tmp-

but there does not appear to be any file named cc0RPFDX.out

If I ls the files in that directory, I get

I am running Mac OS X 10.5.7 with dual PowerPC G5s and am trying to  
build Qt 4.5.2 so I can deploy a universal binary in a Mac bundle. I  
have succeeded in building a universal binary with Creator and the  
binary distribution of Qt, but I want a static build for deployment  
because the documentation seems to say that's how to get your app  
deployed into a Mac bundle.

I am clueless as to what's going on. Thanks in advance for any help!
