how many 32-bit packages does sun's java sdk need?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  apparently, for something i'm trying to build, i really do need
sun's java rather than openjdk, so i grabbed the .bin file from sun
and executed it only to have it complain about not finding
libgcc_s.so.  oh, crap ... the executable is 32-bit and i'm running on
x86_64.

  so install the i686 version, only to have it fail on yet another
missing shared lib:  libXext.so.6.  yes, i could install the 32-bit
version of that as well but how much further is this going to go?  is
there a reason there's no 64-bit version of that SDK?  i *really*
hate polluting my system with 32-bit packages.
