For Monday: did you remember to "sudo make install" your new hunspell  
library, or is the one in /usr/local/lib still the old single-platform  
version?

What does

     file /usr/local/lib/libhunspell-1.2.dylib

report? If you've got a Universal lib, it should say something like

     /usr/local/lib/libhunspell-1.2.dylib: Mach-O universal binary  
with 2 architectures
     /usr/local/lib/libhunspell-1.2.dylib (for architecture ppc7400):	 
Mach-O dynamically linked shared library ppc
     /usr/local/lib/libhunspell-1.2.dylib (for architecture i386):	 
Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386

Did you quit Xcode (and perhaps even regenerate the project with qmake  
for good measure), in case it was "remembering" something it shouldn't?

Two reasons: (1) building poppler for a non-X11 environment isn't all  
that well supported, and (2) you're trying to do a universal binary,  
but not all libraries are set up to do that by default. If you remove  
the dual-architecture setting from the project file, I suspect it'd  
build much more easily.
