There were several sloppy items in the Eclipse source for building
native libraries that have been fixed upstream in the 3.1 source.  The
build from source for Linux PowerPC GTK uncovered a number of them, and
the Eclipse team has been pretty responsive[0].  However, with our
initial target of 3.0.1, the workarounds Jerry mentions will be necessary.
