Good news but there is still problems using OpenJDK 7 on OSX with -d32.

I build universal packages with this added patches
(http://openjdk-osx-build.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/patches-jdk7u-osx/universal-build.patch)
  and check if 32bits support is available back on OSX.

Sadly I still get errors with Jenkins (test app) when using -d32.
Anyboby willing to take a look in it ?
