Well... For all I know, Kaffe >0.84 does not support NetBSD/m68k. About a
year ago, I hacked 0.84 (the last JDK 1.0.2 compatible) to do JIT for m68k
(PR#4951) and sent the patches back to Tim Wilkinson, but they never made
it into the tree.

I tracked the project until short after 1.0 (it sometimes built on i386)
and then lost interest... The GUI toolkit they chose was way too ugly, and,
frankly: m68k simply isn't up to the task. Java just isn't fun there.

The 0.84 patches were lost in time and space when my 4G harddisk died a few
weeks ago.
