No PowerPC binaries in OpenJDK-OSX-1.7-universal-20110818.dmg

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install package
2. $ file /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.7.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected that a 'universal' distribution would include PowerPC binaries.

I get:
$ file /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.7.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.7.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java: Mach-O 
universal binary with 2 architectures
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.7.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java (for 
architecture i386): Mach-O executable i386
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.7.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java (for 
architecture x86_64):   Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64

For comparison purposes, /bin/cp produces these results:
$ file /bin/cp
/bin/cp: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
/bin/cp (for architecture i386):    Mach-O executable i386
/bin/cp (for architecture ppc7400): Mach-O executable ppc

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
OpenJDK-OSX-1.7-universal-20110818.dmg on Mac OS 10.5.8 on a PowerBook G4

Please provide any additional information below.

macosx-port is only Intel based.
There is no plan to add PowerPC in this branch, best luck will be with OpenJDK 
7 from BSD.

BTW, we don't have PPC hardware to try the build
