the Python Makefile included with EPD has some options that needed to be
tweaked to get to work, on Lion at least, and probably Snow Leopard too. Not
sure what version of MacOSX you're using though..

First of all, check what SDKs your Xcode provides in:-
/Developer/SDKs/

Each OS seems to provide it's own SDK and the direct predecessor, so Snow
Leopard (10.6.sdk) has Leopard's (10.5.sdk), whereas Lion (10.7.sdk) includes
10.6.sdk, but not 10.5.sdk. EPD was built with the 10.5 SDK, so on Lion I've
tweaked the build Makefile to point to 10.6.sdk, which still contains some 10.5
libraries.
The Makefile I mentioned can be found at:-
/Library/Frameworks/EPD64.framework/Versions/Current/lib/python2.7/config/Makefile

Numpy distutils uses this to load compiler flags, so the directories it
references should at least exist.
Also, if you don't have the relevant headers which Enthought used to build
numpy (i.e. Intel's MKL), I'm not sure how easy it'll be to compile numpy
extensions...

Regarding the error message...
I think that either
  a) You've got -arch set in LDFLAGS, whereas it _perhaps_ should only be in
CFLAGS; or
  b) As Chris suggests, you're not using the XCode version of gcc.
The gcc in /Developer/usr/bin/ should be sym-linked to the latest Apple
compiler, so I'd use that (llvm-gcc-4.2 on Lion).

On a side note, Enthought released version 7.3 earlier this week. It's
probably worth updating to that at some point, as they've updated a lot of
things, including cython (http://www.enthought.com/EPDChangelog.html)

Cheers,
Alex
