19 hmm, AFAIK kaffe should support those platforms (didn't ever
20 worked on them). But (as I just said), kaffe ebuild was broken
21 some time ago, didn't check it for a while yet ...

23 Well, I don't see the current lack of an proper java runtime
24 on certain platforms an real blocker for some additional tool.
25 Java generally is designed for a very wide range of platforms
26 and architectures. If some major archs are missing an proper
27 java implementation, then it's a bug, which sooner or later
28 will be fixed.
