I started looking at Jikes with the idea of building it on my NetBSD/sparc
system. The big problem seems to be that the Jikes code is heavily
dependant on the Unicode support in Linux. Specifcally, most files try
to #include <wchar.h> as well as make calles to wcslen(), neither of
which seem to be supported on NetBSD (1.3.2, at least).
