Okay, a followup on the issue. Sorry for not doing this earlier, but work
has caught me (should I say as usual?). I've come to it on friday finally,
and I realized I was wrong in the version I said. I am trying to get to run
3.5M3 via source build, i.e.  natively. I did succeed in building eclipse
itself with the jdk16.  I built the eclipse binary. I built all the swt stuff
(with gtk).  I don't get any link errors anylonger. But obviously I still
oversaw something, as I still get an error (both using the JNI and the EXEC
style invocation of eclipse) which though lies on the java side of things,
or so I think. I've run out of time to investigate (didn't wanna be locked
in) and will continue this during the upcoming week (don't pin me on a date).
I've not given up yet! :)

For the interested, the error is:

I haven't looked at the java code yet, I assume I still have overseen things
to change to 'netbsd' and/or netbsd environment stuff in some places. As I
said, the quest continues... (I'm happy though that I've moved from C/library
to java errors now. Hopefully the eclipse guys have a better java coding
style than they do show in C!)
