the testcase test_get_platform is not entirely correct for the OSX case.

Background: OSX supports fat binary builds (Apple calls those Universal
Binaries). The testitem for OSX gives a false negative when you run the
test with a Universal Binary build of Python on OSX.

To get correct test results on OSX you'll have to patch a number of other
variables as well, such as CFLAGS, because get_platform uses those to
detect if you're running on a universal build.

fixed in r71560 and r71565.
