True. As far as I know nobody has ever tried it.
Based on past experience I'd say a base port of gcj to hppa-linux
should be simple. Probably `configure; make' would do it. This would
be a port with a few flaws (slow null pointer checks, no reflection,
and the interpreter wouldn't work).
A full port is more difficult. It requires a lot of understanding of
the platform's assembly language and ABI. Also the null-pointer
checking code means knowing things about how signal handlers work, and
being able to write some code for gcc.
I don't have access to an hppa linux box so I can't try this myself.
