Just a side note: I built RPMs for CentOS/Fedora which compile on CentOS 5 
(i386, x86_64) and Fedora 9 using OpenJDK.

These RPMs do work well for me and I plan to submit them to Fedora but 
currently the rpath issue is the main blocker for inclusion.
Currently I don't have the time to patch JCC to use only dlopen (which is the 
only accepted method besides waiting ~ 1/2 year so that OpenJDK /may/ get fixed):

Just in case anyone is interested, I can publish my RPMs somewhere.
