I used -Bshareable in the patches I made for kaffe-0.6.0 (first netbsd/m68k 
port), however someone seems to have changed it.

Not really (well, the thread switching code is a bit 'dodgy'), but I 
did make kaffe-0.8.0 and biss-awt run, however kaffe-0.8.1 was released 
before I got around to submitting the patches. I'll see if I can take a look
at 0.8.1 over the weekend, maybe make JIT work on netbsd/m68k.
