I ran these tests by compiling with various compilers on various
VMs.  The resuls are attached below.  Seeing the results, I have
had an impression that

  (1) TestSerial* tests have something specific to Kaffe because
      they never produce expected results when run on Sun's JDK.

  (2) Ecj may have some bug which causes unexpected results
      of TestSerial* tests.  As Kiyo points, the bug may be
      similar to one that seems to have existed in old Jikes.

  (3) Kaffe VM may have something wrong which causes the failure
      of ClassGC test because Sun's JDK works well.  Jikes seems
      to produce some bytecode which escapes from the proplem.

My test results follow.

OK:  Produces the expected output.
NG:  Does not Produces the expected output.
