Well, this issue has been discussed over and over again on 
pythonmac-sig over the past year or so (perhaps as far back as the 
10.3.0 release).  I do not have time at the moment to summarize, but 
the solution proposed is sane and there is no known better way.  If you 
take a look at the WWDC2004 sources for Python, a similar patch is 
applied by Apple.  However, Apple's patch breaks (at least) C++ 
compilation and SciPy's distutils extension for compiling Fortran due 
to distutils' stupidity.
