I assume that you're using jikes with a version > 1.13
to compile kaffe's class library. You need to make
sure you use jikes 1.13. Kaffe's class library sources
trigger a bug in jikes >1.13 versions leading to the
verifier problems you are experiencing. Check out this
mail fr more information:

The latest version of jikes should be o.k. too, but
you'd need to do some manual work in order to get it
to generate the type of class files kaffe can work
with. Jikes 1.18 generates Java 1.4 class files by
default, and they need some support methods kaffe
doesn't implement yet. My advice is to just use jikes
1.13, as that should just work.
