The mono project's runtime page http://www.go-mono.com/runtime.html
links a lot of interesting information regarding just-in-time
compilation techniques, and it's currently working for IA32.
For those that may not know mono, it's an open implementation
of .NET for Linux.  The major difference between the .net
and java interpreter designs are that .net opcodes were originally designed
to be just-in-time compiled, not interpreted, with java the
other way around.  Some of the papers referenced cover
this with IA32 code generators.
