Most of the ports have bit-rotted in the last several months.  I think
the core developers only use Linux and/or FreeBSD on a regular
basis....

First, reconfigure with '--enable-debug'.  That will turn on the
run-time debugging support ('kaffe -vmdebug list' will show you what
that can do.)

Are you using the JIT or interpreter version?

Does 'kaffe -fullversion' work?  What does 'kaffe HelloWorld' do?
You'll have to find+compile (or write+compile) HelloWorld, of
course...

A GDB backtrace is the next step....

... perhaps I should write a 'FAQ.debugging' or
'FAQ.kaffedoesnotworkforme' ...
