For the Java plugin to work, they have both to be compiled by the same gcc 
version. As the binary ppc jdk package has been compiled with gcc 2.95, it 
won't work with a 3.2.x compiled Mozilla. It's a known problem and there's no 
fix for it currently. You'll either have to recompile Mozilla with gcc 2.95 
or try and compile a 3.2.x savvy java package.
