Porting gcj to i386-darwin

[Sandro Tolaini <tolaini at libero dot it>]

Hi everyone, I would like to port gcj/libgcj to i386-darwin. Is there  
someone already working on that?

Considering that powerpc-darwin is a supported platform, it should  
not prove to be too hard. However, I need some hints on how to  
proceed. At configure phase, GCC woes for:

target-libmudflap
target-libffi
target-boehm-gc
target-zlib
target-libjava
target-libada
gnattools
target-libgfortran

The last 3 items should not really be needed for gcj. Let examine the  
others:

target-zlib: should be sufficient to add i386-darwin to the supported  
platforms

target-boehm-gc: a patch exists for porting to the new platform, so  
it should be a matter of applying it

target-libffi, target-libmudflap, target-libjava: I don't know what  
exactly needs to be done, maybe someone could help me

Another question: if I change a configure.am somewhere, is there a  
script that rebuilds all the configure things or I have to call  
autoconf (which version?) on it?

Cheers,
  Sandro
