Jason, it's i386/amd64 only but thanks for the help. Chris, I don't have any way of burning a DVD right now. Carlos, interestingly enough, there is a Mach-O to ELF converter but I believe it is for MacOS i386/amd64 only. I may be wrong about my conclusion here. Justin, I need to look at the Makefile because I received the "too many symbolic links" error even when I did not set the prefix. This is about JamVM.
