Thanks Marcus! I am now doing the engineer's victory dance...

So this is what worked for me on a x86_64 Fedora 8 machine.  Note sure 
if other distributions provide 32 bit compilers and libraries by default. 

1) Pull the CVS source from savannah.gnu.org and setup the autoconf stuff
 cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/sources/swarm login
[hit return]
 cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/sources/swarm co swarm
[you will need cvs, autoconf, automake, libtool installed to do the 
following autogen.sh -- there may be version complaints when you run 
autogen.sh -- the recent tools distributed with Fedora 8 reports some, 
but they aren't harmful]
 ./autogen.sh

2) Installed a 32 bit JDK 1.6 in my home directory (not a RPM, just the 
unpackable archive)

3) I built BLT 2.4.z from source as:

CC='gcc -m32' ./configure --prefix=$HOME/packages/swarm-32  
--exec-prefix=$HOME/packages/swarm-32
make; make install

4) Built Swarm like so (note the --build command line option which 
avoids the wrong target being chosen for the avcall library)
$HOME/src/swarm/configure --prefix=$HOME/packages/swarm-32 
--with-bltdir=$HOME/packages/swarm-32 --with-jdkdir=$HOME/jdk1.6.0_03 
--build=i586-unknown-linux-gnu
make; make install

5) Provide the usual settings:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/packages/swarm-32/lib
export 
CLASSPATH=.:$HOME/packages/swarm-32/share/swarm/swarm.jar:$HOME/packages/swarm-32/share/swarm/kawa.jar
export PATH=$HOME/packages/swarm-32/bin:$PATH
export SWARMHOME=$HOME/packages/swarm-32

6) Then:
cd $HOME/src/apps/java/jheatbugs
javac *.java  # doesn't like some copyright symbols, but there are only 
warnings
java StartHeatbugs
