Yeah, I'd consider trying CVS head instead of 1.1.8. I've played with 
EABI and the interpreter last week, and it built & ran most of the 
regression tests using libffi, so if you are interested in hacking on 
Kaffe on arm-eabi-linux, that would be a good place to start.

For native builds in qemu, you can grab the armel debian image from 
http://www.kaffe.org/~robilad/qemu/ (user root pass debian, user test 
pass test), build classpath 0.96.1 using a prebuilt glibj.zip (i.e. 
http://www.kaffe.org/~robilad/glibj.zip) as the memory QEmu can simulate 
for arm(el) is maximally 256M, over that the kernel won't boot, and 
using 'swap' on an emulated disk is a bit of performance overkill, I 
think. See http://wiki.debian.org/ArmEabiHowto for how to grab a kernel
for qemu armel.
