AIX: The port supports AIX 5.3 and later.  It is tested to be built with xlC 10.

Linux: We build and run the VM on SLES 10.3 with gcc 4.1.2, but support it on other Linux distributions, too.  Google contributed a port for the new little-endian Linux variants.

We do not support as400 pase. Contributions are welcome.

The port is derived from a VM targeted towards server applications. Therefore it focuses on maximizing peak performance. Thus, it utilizes the high end C2 optimizing compiler of HotSpot.  As interpreter performance is less relevant for server applications, we use the C++ interpreterFirst, we ported the CPP interpreter, but by now also added a port of the template interpreter.  The big-endian vairant should be built using the template interpreter.  The little-endian variant not yet supports this and thus still uses the CPP interpreter (build with --with-jvm-interpreter=cpp).

The port does not support the template interpreter or the C1 compiler.  Contributions are welcome.
