Is there any way to build this thing on a Linux PowerPC box (YDL 4.0 &
6.0). Is there a snowballs's chance in some place hot that GCC gcj
will work?

I admit that I have not done an extensive search for a PowerPC Linux
jdk (May actually be one on one of the install CDs but I doubt it).
Maybe on IBM's site somewhere?

I do NOT define Open and run everywhere as Windows and/or x86.

Sorry don't know what the status of an open PPC implementation is but ...

P.S.:  What is the "bootstrap jdk" used for? Access to a java
compiler? Or does it use other "stuff" from in there?

It will supply javac, javah, and jar at least.
