Don't worry -- that's a warning, not an error. The difference is that  
warnings are non-fatal. Your compile almost certainly finished just  
fine. As long as you have two new files, "C.so" and "_librsync.so"  
you're good to go.

I have the same setup and see the same warning. I suspect the reason  
is because Python wants to compile the rdiff-backup modules as "-arch  
i386 -arch ppc" (universal) whereas librsync is i386-only. .... The  
warning from the linker (ld) is about the ppc architecture. Although I  
haven't tried this, I suspect that recompiling librsync with flags for  
both architectures would eliminate the warning message.
