[kaffe] unable to compile for blackfin/uClinux

[Jeff Ramin]

Hi folks.

I'm new to the embedded world. I'm attempting to get a Java
application running on a Blackfin powered board. I'm following
the instructions on this page:

http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=run_java_application_on_stamp_board

I've successfully compiled kaffe for my host linux system (although
I had to disable some functionality). I'm now trying to compile kaffe
for Blackfin/uClinux, using this command:

./configure --host=bfin-uclinux --disable-native-awt --enable-pure-java-math --with-gc=kaffe-gc 
--with-threads=unix-pthreads --enable-static --with-staticlib --with-staticbin --with-staticvm 
--disable-binreloc --disable-alsa --without-esd --with-engine=intrp --disable-gconf-peer

When I run make, I receive this error:

This output is from kaffe 1.1.8. I'm not using 1.1.9 because I
couldn't get that to compile either, and thought perhaps an older
version would do the trick.

I've googled extensively and haven't been able to find a solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
