[linuxtools-dev] Eclipse-build additional archs

Hi everyone,
I want to announce that eclipse-build is able to produce a working Eclipse SDK 
build on a sparc machine using Fedora.
Same support is added for ppc64 and it builds in our builders but I have no 
way to test it myself whether it actually works.

If someone wants to add support for other archs, you should:
1. Add support for your arch in the patches named eclipse-add-*.
2. Add support for your arch in generateAdditionalPlatforms.xml. This should 
be really easy to do smth like <generateArch newArch="YOUR_ARCH" /> in 
generate target should do the trick. Remember to actually run it so your 
additional fragments get generated.
3. Check that eclipse-build-config/productFiles/rcpConfig/build.properties 
contains proper root.* definitions for your arch. If there isn't any please add 
it.

Additional step - If you want to get this support added to eclipse-build 
please open a bug report with all the needed patches and *URL to a build done 
on this platform* so I can take a look whether all the binary files are correct 
and etc. If there is no link to the build I'll not consider adding it eclipse-
build.

If there are any questions please ask me here on #eclipse-linux at 
irc.freenode.org.
