FWIW, the problem is in openjdk6, not eclipse.

This is kinda weird.  It's putting the build into bsd-i386 (IIRC the
standard directory for a build on an amd64 machine is bsd-amd64), but on
the other hand it's building the amd64 HotSpot code.  There is obviously
something that is confusing the architecture detection code here.  It
should be trying to compile the i486 HotSpot code instead.

I don't have any immediate idea as to what that may be, but that is
definitely the place to look at.
