Hello, I've been playing with a clients AMD64 machines and god they really are screaming fast (but quite silent to boot) and I was wondering if anyone has had some success in building a JDK on them. As far as I can tell, the Linuxulator doesn't run on them so there's little luck building it from scratch. However, considering that AMD64 is binary compatible to IA32, it might be possible to compile the JDK on a regular IA32 machine and use it to bootstrap the AMD64 version but so far, I'm having trouble finding the compat module that would allow such binaries to actually run (they can't find their libs). I gather there is some unstable compat module around, if that's true, where can I get it (I don't care just how instable it is, maybe I can get the JDK to run, maybe not)? Best regards, Gabriel
