Hi Frederic,

Please try java -vmdebug NATIVELIB
fr.ptv.valence.katolecho.cannative.CanNative

that should give you an idea where kaffe is looking for the libraries,
and if it manages to find the library and functions you're trying to lookup.

And it would be interesting to see the class file. I've tried building
the source you sent on linux x86, and I didn't see the
NoSuchMethodError. Do you see the same error with Kaffe and the class
file on x86 - linux, too?

Kiyo has just fixed up the JIT for ARM in CVS head, so I'd expect it to
work, as it's needed for the regression tests. Kiyo, what's the
regression test status on ARM in your setup?
