how to build 32-bit openjdk7 on x86_64

[Ben Cheng]

Sorry for not being clear in the original email. It is not as scary as it
sounds.

All the pre-installed libraries by IT on our x86_64 linux workstations are
32-bit, so I just grab a few extra ones (sound, freetype, ...) as described
on the build-howto page. After that and the makefile hacks, I was able to
build 32-bit JDK.

However, I was not able to build 64-bit JDK yet. I assume I will need to
prepare a chroot environment with 64-bit libraries installed but I just
don't have time to try it out yet.

So the bottom line is if a developer is constrained by the hybrid 32/64-bit
environment like I am, it is possible to build 32-bit JDK with a few
makefile hacks.

Thanks,
-Ben
