Right.. before patch configure failed on FreeBSD 4.x, and now it
gets further, but still breaks:

On FreeBSD:

    $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/jc --enable-jni --with-jikes 
--disable-gtk-peer
    checking build system type... i386-unknown-freebsd4.9
    checking host system type... i386-unknown-freebsd4.9
    checking target system type... i386-unknown-freebsd4.9
    ./configure.lineno: 1437: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

Line 1437 is blank! It immediately precedes "AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(1.7.0)".

On Linux:

    $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/jc --enable-jni --with-jikes 
--disable-gtk-peer
    checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
    checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
    checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
    ./configure: line 1438: syntax error near unexpected token `1.7.0'
    ./configure: line 1438: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(1.7.0)'

I have no idea how to properly regenerate all the autojunk from CVS
to make the build work on my system (either RedHat 9 or FreeBSD 4.9).
