This all works fine now with gcj (thanks). So openoffice.org works
relatively ok. The only thing is that I have a very similiar error under
ppc trying to register java components which work under x86, I have no
problems with the build-time java tools, just with calling java
components through the OOo uno c++ bridge. Now the original testcase
itself works fine, and I've been unable to date to extract a new
testcase that pinpoints the ppc issue so it might be something on my
side, but are there known difficulties with libgcj under ppc in this
arena which don't arise under ix86 ?
