It sounds like the process that makes the RPMs is looking at the
programs that are installed and then checks those scripts, which of
course aren't executables that objdump can process.  Maybe the RPM
building process does that so it can determine what the shared library
dependencies are or something like that..

As good as anything, I suppose..  Another idea would be to unpack the
swarm.jar file and compile it on the fly.  I.e., not distribute
gcjswarm.so at all.  I haven't tried that, but it should work..

First make sure that you have the Swarm libraries and GCJ libraries in
the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  

If that doesn't do it, try rebuilding without HDF5 support.  I thought
it was a fluke when it happened to me.  Let me know if that fixes it
(assuming it wasn't the LD_LIBRARY_PATH) and I'll tell you the details
of what I did...
