That's there to support users of older Ark Linux releases, can probably be 
removed by now, people who want to build a new OOo can just upgrade to a 
newer version of the OS...

The one without -ark is from Gentoo, I copied it to -ark to make some 
adjustments to make it work for me.
The -ark version is still needed (Xalan 2.7.0 has some classes in 
serializer.jar that the included 2.6.whatever had directly in xalan.jar).

I have no idea if the Gentoo guys still need the one without -ark?

Obsoleted by cws-jaxpapi.diff, can go

Those aren't obsolete, rather the opposite.

ark-experimental-gcj-use-ecj.diff uses ecj's javac instead of gcj -C to 
generate Java bytecode that is later compiled to machine code with gcj 
(faster, and eliminates the gcc bug #19870 troubles).
Currently not applied because ecj is rather picky about syntax errors gcj (and 
apparently proprietary Javas) ignore, and the code is not yet ready to build 
with it.

compiletime-skip-duplicate-jars.diff patches the gcj deliver.pl hacks to not 
machine-compile jars that already exist on the system in machine-compiled 
form (this saves around 4 hours just because of xercesImpl.jar on my 
hardware); it relies on changes from gcj-HelpLinker-native.diff, which we're 
currently reverting in ArkOnly because it triggers that dreaded 
java.lang.NullPointerException, so compiletime-skip-duplicate-jars.diff is 
temporarily disabled until we figure out why gcj-HelpLinker-native.diff 
breaks things.

Best regards,
