hah, you got me. Using closed source stuff:
IBM 1.1.8
Sun 1.3.0 (beta & beta-refresh)
IBM 1.3.0 (final)
Blackdown 1.2.2 w/ inprise jit.
All don't work. I have a need for 1.3.0, so I don't think I can use
alternative java runtimes.
I'm just hoping for a heads up on this list when there is a workaround or
updates to make java run.

Cool! I'll wait till the redhat 2.3.12 modutils SRPM pops up before
mentioning this again.

Actually, the last reboot worked fine. I'll mention it again only if I
can give more informative detail.

I've found that adding this one line to Makefile:
CFLAGS += $(shell if $(CC) -fno-optimize-sibling-calls -S -o /dev/null -xc
/dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1; then echo "-fno-optimize-sibling-calls"; fi)
let's me compile a bootable test3 (which I'm running now).
All this, because I had to get 4.0.1 running, and it was worth it ;)
Thanks,
