Hi Jonathan, IcedTea (icedtea6 anyhow) has the zero-assembler port which should build out of the box on any linux/gcc platform. I say should, because it's new and we're still working out kinks, but it works enought to build itself on 32- and 64-bit PowerPC, I've had reports of it working on zSeries and Itanium, and there are a couple of guys working on ARM as we speak.
