FWIW,
I read the other thread on *just* setting JITC_PROCESSOR_TYPE=6, and
with that solution you avoid a kernel recompile, or hacking the
libraries with Emacs.
I unhacked my libs to use /proc/cpuinfo again, and using
JAVA_COMPILER=NONE works for my Perl picolo app, and
JITC_PROCESSOR_TYPE=6 now also works.
Doesn't seem particularily zippy, though - I was hoping that would
somehow activate the compiler, and it would speed the rendering up.
Any ideas why the /etc//cpuinfo hack with the processor set to 604e
would cause reflection errors when the JIT kicks in, but using
JITC_PROCESSOR_TYPE=6 doesn't?
Cheers,
jas.
