Comment:

 My Python 2.7 on 64-bit OS X 10.6 gives
 {{{
 >>> get_platform()
 'macosx-10.6-intel'
 }}}

 Current code in numpy master is:
 {{{
             if get_platform()[-4:] == 'i386' or 'intel' in get_platform()
 or \
                 'i386' in platform.platform():
                 intel = 1
             else:
                 intel = 0
             if
 os.path.exists('/System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/'):
                 if intel:
                     args.extend(['-msse3'])
                 else:
                     args.extend(['-faltivec'])
                 link_args.extend(['-Wl,-framework','-Wl,Accelerate'])
 }}}

 The output you get ('macosx-10.6-x86_64') still doesn't work with the
 above (or does it, what do you get for {{{platform.platform()}}}?), so we
 need to check for {{{x86_64}}} as well.  Distutils is frustratingly
 inconsistent for this type of check...
