Very nice!

The code is not 64-bit clean, attached is a patch to get it compile on
x86-64 Linux.
I also fixed some g++-4.2 warnings (const issues, symbol visibility).

The libJnJVM directory builds, but it won't run, I get endless messages
like this:
; ****************************************************** ;
;         SIGSEGV occured during a collection            ;
;   I'm trying to let the allocator in a coherent stat   ;
; but the collector is DEAD and will never collect again ;
; ****************************************************** ;

Probably there are more 64-bit issues to solve. Unfortunately I don't
have time to look into this deeper now.

Best regards,
