I think that is a ant bug and Stephan said he will change that
behaviour. 

As a sidenote: This would be solved by the discussed scripts for a new
java policy...

This is wrong. All arch are compiled with a x86 string. I know it
looks stupid, but this system is used in eclipse to make 
'unzip a drop over another drop' possible.

There are three places, where this value is used.
* The launcher, which sets the value at runtime
* the classlaoder, which loads native library from a subdir called
  'x86'.
* At buildtime such a dir is created.

So you could actually chnage that to 'debian' and it wouldn'T change
anything. It just has to be consistent in all places. I haven'T had a
look into each part of the code and I don't want to do it just to get
a different value there.

So, to sum it up: I don't think that this is the problem. :)

Please drop me a mail with the stacktrace of ant. Please add a '-v' to
the ant call.

Ther is another isue: The latest package can be used to compile arch
depended code only, so you need not to compile the java code.
