Jikes is working.
Kaffe is not (yet) working.
AFAIK libffi is still not working on hppa, so no GCJ.
I will add ffi to my list of TODO's...
The basic issues involved some copy'n'modify :)

I had worked with Will Newton to try and fix avcall (libffcall1-dev).
Not sure where that went since I have lost touch with him.
In the case of avcall it got scary because we have dropped floating
point register relocation so it was a little more than just copy'n'modify
from HPUX. Happily without fp-reg-reloc we look like many other arches
so there is much to copy from! ;)
