I would like to request the following patch be incorporated to add the
freebsd/amd64 platform:

2004-06-06  Sean McNeil  <sean@mcneil.com>

	* configure.ac: Add x86_64-*-freebsd* support.
	* configure: Regenerate.

Looks good, I'm checking it in.

Thanks Sean,

Your patch appears to be required but not sufficient to make a
meaningful change.  e.g. top-level needs to be changed to account for
the new subsystem enablement, etc.  Also, as you likely know, libffi
is only needed if you are going to configure libjava.

Regards,
Loren

I don't know if you are aware of this or not, but currently
freebsd/amd64 has no usable javavm.  I am working in baby steps to get
gij or sablevm working.  I appreciate you pointing out my next moves.  I
will send additional patches as I work towards the ends mentioned.

Also, if there are any other people out there working towards a
functional java system on amd64 I would appreciate opening a dialog with
you.

Cheers,
Sean
