Jenkins Build Slave on kFreeBSD

[Guido Günther <agx@sigxcpu.org>]

Hi,
did anybody here succeed on running a Jenkins Build Slave on kFreeBSD?
Using the SSH Slave Plugin on the master (running Wheezy's OpenJDK) and
gcj-4.7 on the Sid kFreeBSD I get:

05/03/13 09:36:18] [SSH] Checking java version of java

So it manages to connect but fails the first remote call.

Are there any other options besides gcj on kFreeBSD? 

A workaround would be to pack a tarball on the master and execute the
build via plain ssh but that's clunky.

Cheers,
