Hi O'Neil, After hearing Tony Graham's lightening talk at the XML Summer School I also had a look at doing this using LLVM. Like you I am using VMKit and it sounds like we have both made about the same progress. I have not investigated GCJ at all as it seemed to me that LLVM was the right tool for the job. I think you would be better seeking help on the LLVMdev mailing list and in particular trying to attract the attention of Nicolas Geoffray - http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2011-July/041438.html I would love to hear how you get on with this, and likewise if I make any progress I will let you know...
