Apparently not...

I can successfully specify --with-macosx-version-min=10.3 --enable- 
universal_binary=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk

Therefore, I think perhaps the best thing to do is to by default go  
with 10.3 whenever an SDK is specified either with --enable- 
universal_binary or --with-macosx-sdk.  That makes the code simpler  
anyway as I don't need to check the SDK for its suggested version I  
can just use the minimum version we support.

Does anyone have a problem with this?

Not really, it seems that I was simply wrong about not being able to  
use 10.3 on x86 builds.  The only downside is that I suspect it will  
cause certain symbols to be weak linked when it is not necessary since  
there are no x86 10.3 libraries that anyone could possibly run them  
against.  But that's probably not a major problem.
