Hey, is Kaffe really about 10x as fast as JDK 1.1.2?

Here's the way your autoconfig report probably goes:

    Craig> Linux 2.0.29

What!?  Not the latest kernel?  Shame on you....

    Craig> gcc version 2.7.2.2

I see you have gcc ... version 2.7.2.2.  Good.

    Craig> libc6 2.0.4

What's this?!  I never saw anything like this before.  All the headers 
are changed and the macros are wrong....

:-)  Seriously....

If this code does compile on other machines (ie, the clean compile
machines don't have it switched off due to a different configuration), 
my guess is that libc6 has changed some of the headers and/or they
aren't compatible with the 2.0.29 headers in some way.  What often
happens is that a slightly different #define or an absent #define
causes a syntax error.  Does that smell like your error message?

1. Check for conditional compile on that code.  Maybe you can
reconfigure in a way that is suboptimized for you, but compiles
cleanly.
2. Check the identifiers preceding that `.' for macros, make sure
they're defined and find out where.
