Well, guys, I don't know if anyone's tried this before, but GCJ and  
libjava both compile on FreeBSD/ppc.  I just tested this with  
4.6-20111111, and only compiled, haven't tried actually running  
anything built with gcj.  My goal in doing this was to see about  
getting LLVM's vmkit/J3 working on here, and this was the first step  
in doing so.  All it took to do this was to add the line 'powerpc-*- 
*) ;;' at line 3144 (I can provide a patch for the port later, these  
are just simple instructions to get it to compile).

Happy hacking, maybe we'll get a JVM on ppc soon.
