One caveat...

For the JVM, we've preserved 32/64-bit universal builds. Currently, the
JVM universal build only includes 64-bit support. Additionally including
32-bit requires 3 Makefile uncomments. However, there may likely be
additional work on the JDK side to fully support the same.

Another question for you guys about OSX.

32 bits support as been removed some weeks ago without further notice
on OSX version.

(bugreport.sun.com ?)

Dalibor&  Mark,

Henri raises some good points here, since the ability to build OpenJDK 32/64 
Universal was lost in the merge from the macosx-port repository to the 
jdk7u-osx repository with no public discussion.

I thought the ability to build 32/64 Universal was preserved, and Oracle was 
simply going to support 64-bit only in it's proprietary builds.

What is the best path to fixing this?
