I am not sure of the difference between static and shared libraries, as far
as the trampoline patch goes.  I modified the trampoline code to remove the
#ifdef, so that static and dynamically linked trampolines worked the same
way.  As far as I can tell, my m68k machine is jumping correctly through
those trampolines, because it successfully makes it to soft_fixup_trampoline().

As someone (Godmar?) pointed out earlier, this is due to the static
initializer for java.lang.Runtime failing for some reason.

This is awkward to debug with GDB at best, since the JIT stack frames are
not compatible with GDB.  Also, GDB cannot correlate the stack frames with
any source code.  However, I can always read the core file using gdb.
