Summary: PPC Linux build failure on Jikes RVM 2.4.2

Initial Comment:
I am trying to build jikes RVM 2.4.2 with GNU classpath
0.19 and jikes 1.22 on my ppc running Gentoo Linux. 

First I tried to use the default JDK for my system, ibm
jdk 1.4.2.03. I did notice the comment in
config/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu about "...When we find
a working 1.4 Linux/ppc JDK, unkludge the JIKES
definition", but I was hoping that comment would turn
out to be outdated. Unfortunately, the build did fail
at the linkImage stage, in the same way some ppc64
builds have been failing (e.g.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.jikes.rvm.devel/4617)

My next attempt was to download a java 1.3 JDK and put
back the "jikes -target 1.3" kludge in the config file,
but that failed even earlier -- classpath 0.19 would
not build without 1.4 features.

Is there anything else to try for compiling recent
jikes RVM natively on ppc?
