Hello again, The newest gcj-3.3 now compiles babel just fine (as mentioned when closing Debian bug 209283). A new bug in kaffe's jar prevents the archive from building. But when fastjar (from gcj) is used instead of kaffe jar, it builds just fine, and kaffe's JVM runs it just fine; the babel test suite is now running using the resulting babel-0.8.8.jar file and kaffe interpreter.
So although I can't vouch for jython, I'm going to close this bug in the interpreter, and open a new one regarding jar. Dalibor, feel free to reopen this if jython still doesn't work with the current gcj-3.3 and kaffe. Fortunately, this is no longer a show-stopper for babel, whose 0.8.8 version can build and upload and maybe even enter testing soon... Cheers, -- -Adam P.
