Sounds right.

Well, we got the Solaris JIT for Sparc, but that's part of the stock
download. Otherwise, we don't have a JIT. (Unlike the Blackdown folks
who got a JIT for x86 only.)

I get early drops and the whole nine-yards. Unfortunately, because Sun
didn't own the early JIT (it was sub-licensed from Symantec), they don't
give out source code to it.

We have access to the JCK. What we don't have is a binary distribution
license.

We'd need a port to the Alpha before any of that was done. :(
