I believe that the configuration between kaffe 0.8.4 (what I was using)
and kaffe 0.9.0 changed.  It seems to put duplicate -ldl statements in
the makefiles for each .so which causes the conflicting usage statement
you saw.  I have not forwarded this bug report to anyone at this point. 
However you can remove them manually and the error will go away.  (If
you need more detail on where these are I can send it to you.)

The "cannot find essential class..." error sounds like it really cannot
find classes.zip in the CLASSPATH.

However, right now, we are getting bus errors even on simple programs
using kaffe 0.9.0 on SunOS.  Please let me know if you get different
results.
