Alpha/Linux has problems with the new ABI.  Simple programs like

public class Hello {
  public static void hello(int n) {
    System.out.println("Hello " + n);
  }
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    hello(3);
  }
}

fail because the StringBuffer class somehow inserts two NUL characters. 
Something to do with array offsets, I'd guess.  I'll look again if I can
find the time (and if I can tame gdb).
