NetBSD/amiga uses -Bshareable. does -Bshared work too ?
Anyway, you got that right..

Similar problems: In an earlier post, someone had made a patch available.
you have to replace 
        (ee)->restorePoint = 0;
        (ee)->stackBase =NULL;
        (ee)->stackEnd = (void *)ptr;

to:

        (ee)->restorePoint = 0;
        (ee)-stackEnd = (void *)ptr;
        (ee)stackBase = (ee)->stackEnd - threadStackSize;

in file kaffe-0.8.1/config/m68k/netbsd1/threads.h, macro M68K_THREADINFO

However, the suplied jbytemark does *not compile* which does it on Linux/i386

Dig for the Makefile for package/biss-net.com, and look the makefile that does make
the libkaffe_bissawt.so. add a '-lX11' to the linker line

But don't expect too much. Lava does not work. telnet.class hogs the machine while searching for a font. It's still beta I think. Linux/i386 and NetBSD/amiga (m68k)
will not run the jbyte benchmark
