[kaffe] Tiny steps towards tinderboxing kaffe

[Karl Trygve Kalleberg]

Hi gang.

For those on the list who haven't met me on IRC already, I'm one of the Java
maintainers on the Gentoo project, a from-source meta-distribution. 

I talked to Dalibor a while back about writing some sort of tinderbox/testing
harness for kaffe, to help in detecting compile-time (and in time, run-time)
errors during development.

In Gentoo, we already have some tools for building packages from sources on a
regular basis. This is what our package system was designed to do; build
programs from source code, so people could build their own "proper"
distribution.

Naturally, the kaffe developers do not want (nor should they need) to run Gentoo,
and that is in no way a requirement for the system I'm working on. While my system
is using Portage at its core, all development happens on Debian 3.0rc2 running
on sparc64.

I have however, run into a snag while trying to compile HEAD of kaffe now:

------------

Kernel headers are at 2.4.20 on this box, again, running Debian 3.0rc2.


Kind regards,

PS. Please correct me if this is the wrong mailing list to spew out
compile-time error logs. I couldn't find a developer-only mailing list.
