Hi Jong Jin,

When you cross-compile kaffe, you need to have a native kaffeh compiled 
for the platform you cross-compile on in order to generate the JNI and 
KNI header files, which are necesssary to build kaffe. So in short, 
setting KAFFEH to the local kaffeh is the right thing ;)

See FAQ/FAQ.cross-compiling for more information.
