There is a patch to port openjdk (zero) to hppa that's in development but it doesn't work yet. Probably, it needs about two weeks of fulltime work to get things working. That's just a guess. Adrian and I were working on it. Currently, I don't have this amount of time available.
Gettext can be built manually. But the glibc build depends on gettext, so it's important to hppa to have it build. Regards, Dave -- John David Anglin dave.ang...@bell.net
