I'm afraid we will still face a problem here. The jdk links
dynamically to libc, but as I understand Satoshi there will be no
about libs shipped with 3.0.

Anyway, the C compiler in FreeBSD-3.0 will still be able to produce
about object files. So JNI will be useable with an aout JDK.

BTW, I'm not going to build an GUI-less ELF jdk for 3.0 release, since
the jdk is not on the CD and the jdk build process has some complexity
I never followed in the past.
