Looking at the debian/rules, no special option regarding threads is
set. After a chat with Dalibor on freenodes#kaffe, I'll rebuild kaffe
with unix-pthread. Now, I'm trying to integrate jikes-kaffe ;)

Debian-specific:
I think I'll have a version problem. Do I have to change the epoch to 2
as Adam wrote it in a previous mail. Thanks for a confirmation.

Cheers,
