Aha! This the issue. If you download and install an Xcode 2.4.1 for 
example, you'd be able to use the below. These headers get an update 
while you install the new Xcode.

To obtain this Xcode you need to become a registered developer, which is 
free.

Well, I have to explain a bit. I'm working on 10.4.8 on ppc and 
x86_64/i686 darwin. And things are working fine. But on x86_64 we have a 
linker problem and I do not expect this one to be fixed before 10.5 
releases.
So, I will continue working more in deep on libjava support for x86_64 
and i686-apple darwin as soon as I have a 10.5 installed. Expected 
somehwere in March.
I have to write some stuff for FALLBACK mechanism and signalhandling. 
And to be honest, I lack the time at the moment. Very busy at work.

Hm, I have to think a bit. Probably I have to introduce another check on 
the Xcode version and then reroute this stuff through i386*

I'll let you know.
Maybe you can try a new Xcode if this would be an option for you.

Thanks,
Andreas
