Grubba has already hooked up earl-grey in Xenofarm and here's the docs that explain the ABI so now it's just a small matter of programming. :-)

The code calls a native function with some arguments to test the parameters. The reason it fails on MacOS X is that MacOS X uses a different calling convention wrt floating point arguments than the other PPC oses. The function that needs fixing is low_make_stub() function inside #ifdef HAVE_PPC_CPU and after the /* PowerOpen ABI */ comment. The function gets a bitmask specifying which (of the first 32) arguments are doubles, in case this information is needed. I haven't been able to fix the function myself, as I don't have a MacOS system to test on. If you make any changes, please make sure that it works on AIX afterwards.

Well, you could split it into two sed commands:

sed -e 's:^[[^]/]*(/.*)/[^/]*.jar[] ].*$:\1:' -e t -e 's:^[[^]/]*(/.*)/[^/]*.zip[] ].*$:\1:' -e t -e d

Speaking of Java, there's a 7.5-specific problem in the configure.in file. The setting of java_home_guess has been modified to use a sed regexp containing (jar|zip) which unfortunately doesn't work in the seds I've tried (OS X 10.2/10.3 and Solaris 7/8):

megalon:jonasw $ java -verbose fnord.fnord.fnord 2>&1 | sed -e 's:^[[^]/]*(/.*)/[^/]*.(jar|zip)[] ].*$:\1:' -e t -e d | sed -e 's:^.* from /:/:' -e 's:/[Cc]lasses$::' -e 's:/lib$::' -e 1q megalon:jonasw $ megalon:jonasw $ java -verbose fnord.fnord.fnord 2>&1 | sed -e 's:^[[^]/]*(/.*)/[^/]*.jar[] ].*$:\1:' -e t -e d | sed -e 's:^.* from /:/:' -e 's:/[Cc]lasses$::' -e 's:/lib$::' -e 1q /i/java/j2sdk1_3_1_02/jre

Any workaround?
