As a matter of interest why was the kaffe JVM chosen over GIJ? It seems a little strange to have it built with GCJ but then run on kaffe. I know that the configure scripts had problems with GIJ as it does not have a file called libjvm.so installed, but that does not seem a good reason. Is there some problem with running under GIJ?
