It looks like this was due to a former bug that has since been fixed.  I no longer need to set buildArch in build.properties.  Thanks.

Gentoo supports multiple "slots" of Eclipse (e.g., 3.4, 3.5, 3.6) installed simultaneously, so we have to do our own launcher and menu entry.

I did say "at least."  It's hard to give a good estimate since my work on it has been spread across many versions of Eclipse now.
Gentoo might be easier than Debian/Ubuntu in a way, since everything in the system is built from source.  Thus, we don't suffer from "DLL hell."
