[Wrapper-user] PPC Linkage in Java Service Wrapper?

[William W. <wi...@tu...>]

Hi all,

I'm a maintainer over at Homebrew [1], where we package a few Java
programs that use the Java Service Wrapper. We've noticed with a few of
them still contain PPC slices (even though OS X hasn't had a PPC release
in over a decade), and that these PPC slices have broken linkages on
modern versions of OS X.

In particular, the PPC slices reference
"/usr/lib/libgcc_s_ppc64.1.dylib", which hasn't been provided by
OS X for quite a while and is currently breaking some of our
linkage tests.

We think the linkage might be being introduced in the JSW, based on
one of our issues [2]. Could anybody shed some light on this and;
if the root turns out to be the JSW, propose a more permanent
fix for this (like removing PPC builds on OS X)?

I'm currently working on a "fix" for this that just ignores this
particular linkage, but it would be great to have an upstream
correct it more permanently!

Best,
William Woodruff
