If you are talking about the pre-compiled x86 binaries, the answer is
no. "x86" denotes a specific family of CPU's. The PowerPC is not in this
family.

Seems your Java installation is corrupt. This is your java compiler (the
javac) dumping. I'm pretty sure there's nothing in PL/Java that causes
this. Perhaps you should file a bug-report to IBM.
