I am running the 2006.1 profile as well.

Ok my bad, I thought I recalled it compiling. Yes it is a amd64 specific
issue. In that light, I will re-open stabilization bug for 2.1.0 on x86.
Since it only has a problem on amd64. Sorry about that.

If you would check out the patches were are applying. They are doing two
things. One adding a few if statements. Two (something temp and nasty)
they are hard coded to source/target 1.4. Reason for that is because our
XML re-write to specify source/target breaks. If that would not
fail/break, then we would not have to patch the sources like that.

I believe it will still allow for the shifting codebase etc that current
goes on based on jdk version. But presently all that is disabled in
2.0.1. Not really my call introducing that stuff, but I understand why.

Also I think Jaybird will always need to be compiled to the same
source/target. Since it's not just about syntax, but JDBC
features/specs.

Well I just did not know how much technical, dev, bug type stuff is ok
to spam to the group :).

Sure, I can go file a bug on the amd64 2.1.0 jni compile issues. I will
see if I can get someone on ppc/ppc64 to test out the stuff as well.
