py-psutil 4.0.0 does not build on a PPC

[josephsacco]

Programming a PPC-based Mac is akin to riding a dead horse. Conventional wisdom suggests the best strategy when you discover you are riding a dead horse is to dismount. Still, we persist... :-)

The culprit file is psutil/_psutil_osx.c. If this file is replaced with its predecessor from version 3.4.2, the module builds, albeit with some minor complaints.

The compiler errors are shown below.
