Sorry, I don't know where it is.

sysdepCallMethod() is only need when you compile Kaffe with JIT engine.
As PowerPC JIT engine don't exist, you don't need it :(
You should configure with:
./configure --with-engine=intrp

If you want add PowerPC JIT engine, you are welcome, and then you
must rewrite sysdepCallMethod() in PowerPC assember.  If you do so,
use the CVS tree, sysdepCallMethod() have change since 1.0.b4, it's
simpler now.
