I think what you're missing is that the header files generated by
configure are arch-sensitive.  You need to take steps to make sure that
each build reads the appropriate header declarations.  Check the
pgsql-hackers archives for previous discussions of building universal
binaries on Darwin --- I think the last one was mid-2008 or so.

My recollection is that you want 8.4 for this, previous releases would
have had even more hoops to jump through to get there.
