Hi wb team,

We would like to try a build of eclipse on arm{el,hf}.  However, it may
require a kernel upgrade on the buildds[1].  As far as I can tell,
linux-2.6/3.2.1-1 carries those patches[2].

There is also an open issue in openjdk-7 (#654209) on armel, but we got
a report suggesting that eclipse could be built on armel with 6b24~pre2
(hench the dw below).  To be honest, I suspect the dw is a no-op at this
point, but for completeness:

  gb eclipse_3.7.1-1 . armel armhf
  dw eclipse_3.7.1-1 . armel armhf . -m "openjdk-7-jdk (>= 6b24~pre4)"

But I cannot figure out the gb/dw invocation for ensuring the running
kernel version. :P

Thank you in advance,
~Niels

According to [1], 3.2 has the first patch and the changelog contains:

* [arm] backport topdown mmap support from rmk's tree

which appears to match the description of the second patch mentioned in [1].
