Title: GCJ on Linux



Assuming this is a runtime failure, it's likely to be 
caused by the fact that Mandrake 6.1 aparently uses a kernel configured for > 
1GB physical memory.  This causes the main process stack to start at an 
address different from what the garbage collector expects.  This is fixed 
in more recent versions of the garbage collector.

  We have just installed gcj on a Linux/intel 
  machine. When we compile a trivial hello world program we get a segmentation 
  violation. Does GCJ work under Linux on intel?
  Our system details: Mandrake Linux 6.1
