The ecj patch provides most of the fixes that make it possible to
build with other JDKs so it needs to be applied. As I've said before,
I doubt it will work with Apple's proprietary JDK.

'Power Macintosh' is insane... should be ppc, sounds like some
brokenness from Apple.

Only because the BSD porters are working in a separate OpenJDK7 tree,
making its use incredibly niche (i.e. it can't provide a TCK-passing
Free Java for *BSD until such a time as there is a Free TCK for 7,
that's some years off). I think the work would be better placed
directly in IcedTea where it can be used with 6 + 7.

Agreed. I'll look at supporting BSD better in 7 once I've finished
work on NIO2 support.
