That's right.

The interpreter requires libffi closure support. It provides the
mechanism for calling interpreted code from native code. Many of the
other ports already support closures, so you should be able to see what
kind of work is required.
You can also disable the interpreter for your target in
libjava/configure.host. Just look at the other ARM and XScale target
configurations.
