ibm jdk woes

[John David Garza]

Hi all,

In a post to this list back in May--

"IBM jdk needs kernel patch to fix floating stacks problem? 
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL" 
http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/pipermail/yellowdog-general/2002-May/001919.html

--a problem with getting IBM's jdk to work on YDL was discovered in 
which the only "solutions" seemed to be:

1. going back to a 2.1 kernel
2. recompiling glibc with floating stacks disabled

Are these still the only solutions available?  Option 1 doesn't seem 
viable unless you've gotta have java and don't have or know the time 
and how to accomplish option 2.

Where would I go to learn about attempting option 2? Is anybody 
working on a kernel path to fix this problem (or at least add support 
for the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL env var)?  If not, where's the best place to 
bring up this issue with ppl that know how to make these kind of 
fixes?

Thanks!
