Comment(by matthew.brett):

 I imagine that get_flags_linker_so will solve the same problem as my patch
 above (maybe in a better way) but my guess is the 'noopt' flag to setup.py
 above will remove the arch flags and therefore fail in the same way as my
 patch did.   I'm afraid I don't understand why the 'noopt' flag has been
 set, and I imagine there was a good reason that we'd have to understand
 before overriding it.
