Could be, or perhaps I've missed some of the gcj/gij patches (but I
don't think so). Seems like Fedora has it working with gcc/gcj 4.1.1 on
x86_64. Maybe I'll have a peek on their gcj patches. Some of their
oo-patches were merged in ooo-build recently I believe (?).

Sigh... If only Mandriva could take x86_64 + openoffice seriously I
wouldn't be struggling with this myself ...
