Hi,

1) Note that the jthreads implementation won't work on ia64 if compiled 
with any gcc < 3.0 (tested 3.0.2 and 3.0.4 nowadays).

2) make all; make Klasses work for both implementations (unix-jthreads, 
unix-pthreads). However, make test both fail at the same locations.

error compiling:

javalib/Klasses.jar:/home/gb/kaffe-1.0.7/libraries/javalib/kjc.jar" -d .

This started to happen the last month or so. Could it be another 
pointer <-> int conversion problem? Hmm, checking. Anyone with an Alpha 
of some other 64-bit machine around to check it out?

How much of config/<arch>/ does the unix-pthreads implementation use? 
Since both threads implementation fail at the same places, it would be 
interesting if config/<arch>/ is not in cause.

Thanks,
Gwenole
