Holger, 

your subject says that Kaffe fails to compile, but your mail seems to
indicate it compiles, but doesn't run?  I'm confused.
If it doesn't compile, you should post the error you're getting and
the configure options you used.

My experience is that is does not compile with egcs.  Part of the reason 
is that egcs fixed some problems with asm statements where gcc was more
lenient in allowing incorrect statements and not screwing things up.
This needs to be fixed in Kaffe.  Patches are welcome.


May I add another request: if people have problems like that, could
you submit them through the jitterbug bug reporting system at www.kaffe.org?

Thanks,

	- Godmar
