Comment(by rgommers):

 Not sure about the mach .f files, but let's take a step back. Your
 original patch removed the {{{get_flags}}} and {{{get_flags_linker_so}}}
 methods. How about putting those back? The latter is what we need I think.
 The logic I would choose is:

 {{{
 arch_flags = []
 for arch in _universal_flags:
     if arch in _c_arch_flags:
         arch_flags.extend(arch)
 if not arch_flags == _c_arch_flags:
     # it seems our compiler does not support all targets the installed
 Python does
     raise SomeError
 }}}

 Now if the {{{get_arch_flags}}} method results in arch flags being
 supplied twice, we revert that as well.

 Note that this is not a patch yet, will try to make it into one tonight.
