OK, so I had two things that I needed to do to fix it.

First, I had to turn off the system installed Python, but commenting out the
lines in .bash_profile that added it to the path.

Second, I had to give CFLAGS to the configure command:

./configure CFLAGS='-arch i686'

Probably it would have been sufficient to just fix the Python path, because
the real error was that it couldn't find Python.h.  And that problem was
covered up by the multiple architecture errors.

At any rate, now I'm building.  Thanks for your help in figuring this out.
