Basically, all the 1.5 compilers in existence are written in java.
So, you need a java runtime to run them.

A simple way to do a bootstrap on a new machine is to build the .class
files on a working machine, then copy them over.  An even simpler way
is to see if somebody already has them built and will make them
available for download :-)

Once you have the Classpath .class files, you can get a VM running.
Then you have enough to rebuild everything from scratch on the new
machine.

>> Also, I notice the "WARNING...in the code below: checking jni_md.h

jni_md.h is built in a funny way.  Basically we look for a pre-made
one in $srcdir/include that matches the current CPU/OS combination.

So, to do a new port you would have to write this file.  This is not
hard, ordinarily.
