You appear to wonder whether you should be able to point --with-jdk-home
to a 32-bit Java installation for a 64-bit LO build (on Linux). No. At
least some tests run during the LO build would want to load libjvm.so
from the specified --with-jdk-home (propagated via JAVA_HOME environment
variable and UNO_JAVA_JFW_ENV_JREHOME bootstrap variable) into a 64-bit
process, and fail.
I guess configure.ac doesn't check that a Java installation specified
via --with-jdk-home matches the bitness of the LO build. If that's the
case, feel free to improve that if you see a need for it.
