This would be better for darwin only? Then maybe Defs-bsd.gmk might get
included?

When I was looking at the binary plugs list on the open-jdk site I saw the
i386 libs and  thought these were not going to work for PowerPC. Is this

Also, all I have right now is the jdk1.5 from Apple to work with on this
platform.
