Right, it seems the memory barrier one has some history in issue 102. I'm 
guessing the patch works for all the Fedora archs, even though issue 102 raises 
some objections about it for Alpha.

The bloom_test failure patch is trivial. I contacted the author. No word yet.

The leveldbjni one is relatively trivial, but it's not clear who the author was.

The autotools one doesn't have to go in.

I was the author of the leveldbjni patch. Basically, the JNI layer needs to be 
able to access the data_ size_ fields of a Slice to be able to copy Java data 
in and out of Slices.

The JNI library also links in leveldb as a static library into the jni shared 
library.  So, it needs that static library to be built with -fPIC and that's 
the reason for the changes to build_detect_platform.
