Mmm. Looks like the configure script picked the wrong assembler architecture. You can either rebuild everything as i386 (which is probably the right thing to do if you're going to distribute the final product, so that it will run on both 32 and 64-bit Macs) or you can dive in and figure out what configure is getting wrong and how to coerce it to getting it right.
