I think the problem is that blackdown is built with older gcc (not ABI
compatible with Mozilla). A possible solution (but I haven't try and
it's not really acceptable) is to rebuild Mozilla with Gcc 2.95!

no java plugin for powerpc I think.

No. I know some person proposed helping to finish the plugin for
Mozilla. If you want to help, you can get in touch with the kaffe dev
team (kaffe@kaffe.org), they are very responsive and cool.
