Package: libgluegen2-rt-java
Version: 2.2.4-2
Severity: grave

Dear Maintainer,

ppc64el is listed in the architectures supported by the package, but the
support does not seem to be complete, and prevents scilab from starting.

When starting scilab (5.5.1-6) on ppc64el, one gets the following crash:

Could not create a Scilab main class. Error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
        at javax.media.opengl.GLProfile.<clinit>(GLProfile.java:120)
        at org.scilab.modules.gui.SwingView.<init>(Unknown Source)

        at org.scilab.modules.core.Scilab.<init>(Unknown Source)
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Please port CPU detection to your 
platform (linux/ppc64)

        ... 4 more


The solution seems to add CPU detection, probably along the lines of what has
been done for MIPS:
