[Jikesrvm-researchers] build problem on powerpc64

[Ben W. <bwagner@MIT.EDU>]

We recently acquired a 64-bit PowerPC machine.  When we try to build the RVM, we
get the following error message when linking:

JVMXM008: Error occured while initialising System ClassException in thread
"main" Could not create the Java virtual machine.

You can find the full output of jbuild below.

We are using the IBM Java 1.4.2 VM.  I tried JikesRVM 2.3.6 and CVS Head.

Has anyone else encountered this problem?  If anyone is running on a 64-bit
PowerPC, please send me your configuration.

Thanks,
