I don't think you should force the installs.  Better to uninstall the
previous versions.

That should be fine.

2.0 typically doesn't need libffi.  On some platforms libffi is 
needed because the avcall in Swarm fails to compile or work.  Try it without 
first.

In /home/darren/swarm-2.0/libobjc/config/powerpc, try copying
../i386/compiler-info-linux-gnu.h to compiler-info-generic.h.

You're the first person to attempt to use Swarm 2.0 on a Power PC.
The Objective C / Java link requires machine-dependent macros and
compiler information in order to do its thing, and these features have
not yet been tested on PPC.  At worst you should be able to
comment out mframe.m from MSRC in the libobjc Makefile and build without
the feature that is (only) used by the Java layer.
