I downloaded the JikesRVM version 3.1.0 and having checked that
ia32-osx was supported set out to build it. The manual says that
it needs GNU Classpath, and that I should download and install
that by doing ant -f build/components/classpath.xml, which I did.

There was a further problem later down where the Ant script said
[exec] configure: error: The Java compiler /home/cshome/o/ok/
Desktop/jikesrvm-3.1.0/components/ecj/3.2/ecj-3.2/ecj failed (see
config.log, check the CLASSPATH?)
[exec] checking if /home/cshome/o/ok/Desktop/jikesrvm-3.1.0/
components/ecj/3.2/ecj-3.2/ecj works...
Since ...components/ecj doesn't exist, it's not surprising that it
doesn't "work". This leads me to suspect a problem with the Ant
script.
