Hi!

First of all, thanks for the reply.

So let me just rephrase that to see if I understood corectly.
Basically, the NATIVE_BOOTSTRAP switch is present if one has already
the FreeBSD port installed and wants to compile a JDK he can use that
instead of the Linux one.

And now that I`ve got that right(hopefully) what compilers are you
guys using - jikes/ some kind of jits? or the basic javac.

And to repet myself, what about the others jvm's, especially ibm`s? I
would like to know of course about the one that you are using and
also anything you know about the one`s that you don`t normally use.

I`m asking about ibm`s jvm `cause I`ve heard a lot of good things
about it like clean implementation and a lot more speed comparing to
the sun jvm...just a thought.

Thanks again, you advice was really helpful.
