It doesn't. Doing such a port might be hard. I heard the PA ABI is
complex.
Currently I believe that libgcj works on Linux (x86, PPC, IA-64, and
maybe ARM -- I haven't tried that one) and Solaris Sparc. We've done
at least one port to a MIPS chip which didn't have an OS. It might
work on other platforms, but I don't know. There is a partial Windows
port which is not complete.
