I decided to try Kaffe on a similiar install as my Athlon (both using SuSE 9.1). It seems that I get the same failures. 16 of 144 test fail. Here is the list of failures. ./test/regression/DateFormatTest.fail ./test/regression/InnerTest.fail ./test/regression/TestSerialVersions.fail I configured both as --disable-native-awt and build with jikes 1.22.
