The "Zero-assembler" mentioned only briefly in this announcement is
actually very big news. It allows IcedTea to run on any GNU/Linux
architecture that has a gcc and libffi port available. A description of
the design can be found at: http://gbenson.livejournal.com/
Gary Benson will give a talk about the zero-assembler port at Fosdem in
the free java developer meeting where GNU Classpath, OpenJDK and many
other Free Java projects come together to plan the Free Java on
GNU/Linux future. http://fosdem.org/2008/schedule/devroom/freejava
