As long as your platform has libffi support (which I guess it must have if it has gcc) a JamVM port consists of simply defining a couple of macros for compare and swap and memory barriers (see src/arch/ e.g. powerpc.h). You'll also need a null platform directory in src/os/linux -- this can be based on the x86_64 one, which is almost empty as the x86_64 port also relies on libffi. If you're willing to test JamVM I should be able to knock up a quick port fairly quickly. The macros required are pretty-standard, so I'll be able to find something to base them on easily. To help do this, can you let me know the output of uname -a? Perhaps also the contents of /proc/cpuinfo. Also, do you know if hppa is little or big-endian? Thanks, Rob.
