Yup, that's the problem. Babel is an SIDL compiler; SIDL is an IDL like CORBA. Babel is implemented in Java, and needs to run in order to generate the stub files for its runtime front ends in C, C++, F77, and python (equivalent to, say, liborbit.a, etc.). So the babel shell script uses kaffe to run babel.jar during the bulid.
Am I not supposed to run a gcj-created .jar using kaffe? I could specify an alternative JIT/interpreter... But the gcj-3.2-compiled .jar works quite well with kaffe (at least with the old kaffe, I haven't checked with kaffe-1.1).
