The ebuild set java5home to /opt/ibm-jdk-bin-1.5, I just changed it to 
ibm-jdk-bin-1.5.0..
local java5home=/opt/ibm-jdk-bin-1.5.0

I was trying out some Qt code in eclipse and it wouldn't run without that.  It 
is in fact in /etc/ld.so.conf, but eclipse wanted an explicit LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
set prior to starting eclipse.  I couldn't figure out how to configure that 
from within eclipse so put it in the startup script.

Do you mean code such as the following:
eclipse-3.2 -vm "/opt/ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2.04/bin/javaw"
If so, I have done that for both ibm jdks, and it crashed with both.
