Wow, thats way cool! I had to pay for mine.
I wonder if they'd "loan" me a G4 tower or something if I ported GCJ ;-)

Thats cool too. I'm looking forward to finding out what this mystery-app 
does!

It doesn't work, at least on an HFS partition, due to GCJ's 
case-insensitive-filesystem bug. See mailing list archives for previous 
discussions. I plan to take another stab at fixing this sometime soon. 
Last time I tried it was still neccessary to hack the system headers to 
get libstdc++ to build, and the DWARF2 EH wasn't implemented (though 
Stan is working on it?). boehm-gc will need some porting to work with 
darwin's threads, because they don't have pthread_kill implemented. 
libffi is working (sans closure support).
