I'll cite from the ChangeLog.

2001-06-18 Edouard G. Parmelan <egp@free.fr>

* config/alpha/netbsd1/jit-md.h, config/alpha/netbsd1/md.c, 
config/alpha/linux/jit-md.h, config/alpha/linux/md.c: Use new stack 
inspection function. Enable JIT compilation.

I don't know. Could someone verify if it has been solved?

I don't see any config/powerpc/jit.* files. I assume it remains to be done. I 
don't think that should delay 1.0.7.

2001-08-28 Edouard G. Parmelan <egp@free.fr>

* libraries/javalib/kjc.jar: updated with kjc-suite-1.5B-bin.jar.

2001-08-14 Edouard G. Parmelan <egp@free.fr>

* config/powerpc/darwin/config.frag, config/powerpc/darwin/md.h, 
config/powerpc/darwin/md.c: Initial support of Darwin.

I assume that is the kaffe open vm custom edition from pocketlinux. Some 
patches have apprently been merged. Volunteers welcome :)

> - Study backlog of patches.

I'm currently after this. Right now I'm going over what Tim Stack has put up 
on the web from the latest JanosVM release (the java class libraries part).

> - Solve random (and hard to reproduce) SEGV on FreeBSD/Intel.

I haven't found anything in the ChangeLog about it. Could anyone provide more 
information?
