[kaffe] kaffe 1.1.3 on Darwin 6.8 fails

[Riccardo]

Hello,

I tried to compile kaffe 1.1.3 form the .tar.gz since that is the 
version from darwinports.

However:
140 of 144 tests failed
Please report to kaffe at kaffe.org


and looking... compiling just doesn't work:
java.lang.ClassFormatError: truncated class
   at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass0 (ClassLoader.java)
   at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass (ClassLoader.java:179)
   at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass (SecureClassLoader.
java:33)

   at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass (ClassLoader.java:142)


I hvae only one suspect, but it may be a false alarm. After 
decompressing .tar.gz I found one @LongLink file, this means that with 
one file gnu tar made a mess. It is a single case, it would be really 
bad luck. I have BSD tar and I would start advising to use BSD tar for 
kaffe distribution instead of buggy GNU crap. In any case, the guys at 
darwinports.. have BSD tar too!!!
