I used much of it to update the beginning of: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/How%20to%20BC%20compile%20with%20GCJ It sounds like, to be able to mix interpreted and natively compiled code at runtime, you need to have compiled your .jars with the -findirect-dispatch option, right?

Right -- since the Java runtime should be smart enough to use the lib as long as the signatures of the methods _it wants to use_ match up, correct? What does it mean to compile code with the "old style 'C++ ABI'"? (Is that referred to as the "standard ABI"?) Does that just simply mean to *not* use the -findirect-dispatch option?
