Bug#256347: (No subject header)

[Jim Watson <jim@amarooas.com.au>]

Thomas,

the code has been written to run on both v8 and v8+/v9. 

There is a test at runtime to discover the machine type. This was not 
implemented for linux sparc so i think it defaults to run on v8 anyway.
Please see http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=30774

But the shared library is built with v8+ flags because it includes v8+ code, 
although the code which runs depends on the machine type.

Is there a problem running this on v8? can you post some error message?

If this library cannot run then it will be possible to make a separate sal 
library for v8.
 
thanks

jim
