This is the dev-java/icedtea-7.2.1 ebuild for ~ppc. Due to some nasty bug in the icedtea build system the process would die with "The system is out of resources" mid-way. The patch adjusts the maximum heap size for javac to 1024MiB (-Xmx1024m) statically when building on ppc. Granted, not the most elegant of solutions, but I couldn't figure out a better solution. Reproducible: Always

Reported upstream, see URL.
Try the new 2.1.1 or 2.2.1 releases in java-overlay. This should be fixed.
