I tried back quite a while a go to get Icedtea to build on PPC - have a perfectly good iMac but no Intel based Mac. I didn't get too far but worked on it quite a bit. The reason we used Icedtea is to get the Zero port along with the bsd-port. I haven't looked closely whether Zero and bsd-port are upstream in JDK now. Zero and Shark are upstream?
