Yes, include "ppc" explicitly. I have changed it to "ppc i386 x86_64" instead of the ARCHS_STANDARD_32_64_BIT macro.
As an aside, I consider it a bug that this definition changed, especially in a bug-fix version. I can accept it to change in 4.0, not in 3.2.6. So please also file a bug report with Apple about this, so they don't repeat this stupidity. You can refer to mine, rdar://problem/9133026.
Apart from that I consider it a bug that these macros are not documented, and never were.
