With those changes, CFG_MAC_ARCHS remains unset, so the build fails
later on with some byte order/endian error messages (log attached).

I'll try to have another look at it tonight, I'm curious to see what
"-arch windows" does on other systems. If it gets silently ignored, we
may just be able to remove the configure check for MAC and let it be
passed along.
