   or have I completely missed something that I need to have done. BTW the
   native functions are statically linked as dynamic linking is not possible
   at the moment.

	I think I tried both internal and jthreads on ARM/Linux
	(I confess, not lately). I'm using Kaffe on NetWinder
	and it works fine. The only think I did to make it working
	was to correctly define the offset for the stack pointer
	in the jmp_buf structure. I don't know how RiscOS is compatible
	with the Linux port but you may want to check that.

	Also, I'm running Kaffe dynamically linked. I just copied
	the same commands from (if I remember well) the i386 port
	(and then, I never find the time to post them ):

hope this help,
