Well, I've tried a newer version, 7.16.3, and it seems to have a similar
problem.

I'm not sure how they compile it... whether they run configure with
"-arch=ppc" and then create a build, and do it again with "-arch=i386" and
create second build and put it together with lipo(1) at the end...

The 10.4.9 versions look to be:
* http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.4.9.ppc/curl-28.0.3/
* http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.4.9.x86/curl-28.0.3/

I've never quite groked the Apple build environment, so I can't tell exactly
what's happening.

I've forwarded it onto curl-library. Thanks!
