To resume the problem, I need to build a Universal Binary (aka, PPC +
i386) library of BerkeleyDB. Now, normally, this is a simple task but
it seems Autoconfig is working against me.

At the strict minimum, I need to have the following flags set in the
generated makefile:

        CFLAGS=         -c $(CPPFLAGS) -O3 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/
MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch i386 -arch ppc
        LDFLAGS=        -Wl,-syslibroot,/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk

The problem is, whatever I set for LDFLAGS or CFLAGS in the .ac file
passed to autoconf, the output Makefile is invariably stripped down
to an empty LDFLAGS declaration and a CFLAGS devoid of the -isysroot
and -arch parameters.

I suspect this is a libtool (http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/ libtool.html) issue. In your sources, you have version 1.5.22 which dates from 2005 (before the release of Intel Macs). There has been a lot of work done on libtool since then to handle multiple archs.

If I were you, I would first try the 1.5.23b development version. If that does not work for you, try the libtool list.
