[kaffe] Compile problems

[Jari Korva]

Hi,

I haven't progressed much. It would help *a lot* if someone who
understands how Kaffe works would tell who is supposed to send that
signal so it would be easier to find out why it is not done :)

I have also observed some variety in how Kaffe behaves. In some very rare
cases I have got it to print the HelloWorld message but usually it just
hangs before that.

Cheers,
  Jari
