libgcj has included an interpreter since August 1999. The interpreter
currently only works on x86 and IA-64. Doing a port of the
interpreter requires a small amount of assembly programming (namely,
porting the `raw' code in libffi). The libgcj interpreter is slow,
though. It is much better to precompile if you can.
