The crash in the shell was due to kaffe crashing during the compilation 
of a java file using kjc.

There is still a couple of warnings left, though I'll leave them for 
later, given that we're in release freeze and all that ;)

I haven't looked further into this.

I've factored out the type-punning warning producing code into its own 
function, so it should be easier to fix. I'm not sure what the proper 
fix is though. Later, after the release ;)

parisc-hpux works mostly for me, it fails 24 regressions tests with the 
attached patch.

I'll wait for a day before I check it in, as I'd like to hear some comments:

the patch removes the use of mprotect in debugging mode to 'harden' 
memory areas in the gc. Accoding to hp-ux man pages, mprotect can only 
be used in conjuction with mmapped files. So I wrote a wrapper function 
for gc for mprotect on hp-ux and there were illegal access errors, 
leading to kaffe crashing a little bit later. So my patch removes 
mprotect usage completely. Is everyone o.k. with that?

cheers,

	* configure.in:
	Don't check for mprotect.

	* configure, config/config.h.in:
	Regenerated. 

	* config/Makefile.am:
	(EXTRA_DIST) Removed unused files parisc/hpux/md.c and parisc/linux/md.c

	* config/Makefile.in:
	Regenerated.

	* kaffe/kaffevm/mem/gc-mem.c:
	Don't include <sys/mman.h> as we no longer use mprotect.
	[PROT_NONE, HAVE_MPROTECT] Sections removed.
	(gc_block_add,  gc_block_rm, gc_block_alloc) Don't use mprotect on memory allocated by sbrk. It breaks on HP-UX.
	
	* kaffe/kaffevm/systems/unix-jthreads/jthread.c:
	(jthreadedFileDescriptor) check if either hpux or __hpux__ is defined. Gcc automatically defines one or the other depending on some internals of hp-ux that don't matter in this case.

	* libraries/javalib/Makefile.am, libraries/javalib/Makefile.in:
	Regenerated.

	
Helmer Kraemer <hkraemer at kaffe.org>

	* config/parisc/hpux/md.h:
	Include siginfo.h and ucontext.h.
	(SIGNAL_ARGS, SIGNAL_CONTEXT_POINTER, GET_SIGNAL_CONTEXT_POINTER, SIGNAL_PC) New macros.
