Nope. Kaffe's JIT compiler generates machine code on the fly and must make
sure the CPU caches are flushed properly. for Kaffe 0.84 (the last JDK
1.0.2 compatible release) I hacked this up many moons ago and submitted the
diffs to Tim Wilkinson, but they never made it into later sources.
In the end, I didn't care too much as m68k is (at least) an order of
magnitude too slow for serious Java work, JIT or no.
