How do I run SWT on Ubuntu PowerPC?

As of Eclipse 3.7 builds of Eclipse/SWT are no longer produced for 32-bit PowerPC. Builds are still produced and supported for 64-bit PowerPC. However Ubuntu’s 64-bit PowerPC distribution (10.04 LTS) is missing 64-bit compilations of many libraries required by SWT, so Eclipse/SWT will not run here. To use Eclipse/SWT on Ubuntu PowerPC you either must use a 32-bit PowerPC release (available for Eclipse versions prior to 3.7), or for 64-bit PowerPC users wishing to use Eclipse/SWT 3.7 or newer, manually build 64-bit compilations of swt’s dependencies.
