Since by this time in the install process the _Res module has already
been installed I was able to work around this issue by hacking the
generated Mac/Makefile and setting RUNSHARED to nothing. The same
problem happens in Mac/IDLE/Makefile as well.

I also get this exact same problem. Mac OS 10.5.6 on an Intel MacBook 
trying to install the release version of 2.6.1. I found it was failing to 
build _Res, but worked around by *not* using --enable-universalsdk.

Is this issue still relevant? I cannot reproduce this on my machines.
