Hi,

After submitting several archived tests, I found snap 060803
(whose ChangeLog head is "2006-07-27  Guilhem Lavaux  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>")
works fine with Boehm GC on i386/linux. I will try to use this to test
whether arm version of Boehm GC works fine.

I found it can be extended until major classpath resync on Jan of
2007 if I revert the mod for 'kaffe/kaffevm/baseClasses.c'. The change
made in 'baseClasses.c' (v 1.76) is reorder the invocation of
initialization (initializeSecurity and initThreads). I have no clear
idea whether this reorder is really needed or not, but I guess this
modification should be reverted.

It was needed to make Classpath's java.util.zip implementation work. The commit was

2006-08-09  Dalibor Topic  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Added --disable-native-zip option, which allows to use GNU Classpath's zip instead of Kaffe's and fixes #11. In addition, fixed #53 along the
        way.
[snip]
        * kaffe/kaffevm/baseClasses.c (initialiseKaffe) Initialise threads
        before initialising security. Security code can end up calling
        arbitrary java code that tries to access thread local variables,
        for example.
[snip]

Basically, during the initialization of security code, the Classpath zip implementation ends up triggering use of thread local variables, and that requires that the threading system is already initialized for it to work.

On the other hand, snap 060803 can not be compiled on arm/linux because
of 'pthread_support.o' does not contain any external symbols and linking
reports several 'undefined symbol' errors. I guess this is because of
some (tricky) 'ifdef' in boehm gc package, but I did not found a way
to fix. Others tackling this is very welcome.

My current results with boehm-gc are a bit across the map (i386-linux, boehm-gc 6.8, different compilers, CVS head).
