not my strong subject either.

it says:

Engine: Just-in-time   Version: 1.1.x-cvs   Java Version: 1.1
Configuration/Compilation options:
  Compile date  : Mon Apr 28 20:09:14 CEST 2003
  Compile host  : sirizidl.dialin.rrze.uni-erlangen.de
  Install prefix: /usr
  Thread system : unix-jthreads
  CC            : /root/bin/gcc
  CFLAGS        : -g -fno-omit-frame-pointer

so I guess I should try jit3 before starting to debug anything?

Hm.. right now it says:
checking whether a statically linked program can dlopen itself... (cached) no
checking whether -lc should be explicitly linked in... (cached) no
creating libtool
checking for _ prefix in compiled symbols... (cached) no
configure: error: Configuration m68k-linux does not support the jit3 engine
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.30643 (%build)

I've built it using a sligthly modified rpm specfile taken form RH 7.3,
the mentioned files would conflict with the jdkgcj package. 
Anyway how does kaffe interact with gcj? The docs on this subject donīt
appear to be very recent.
