The interface is certainly changed. COMPILER_VERSION as
version number of the interface is changed from 5 of JDK
1.1 to 6 of JDK 1.2.
But the internal structure of JVM will not be changed
drastically. I suppose adaptation of JITs to JDK 1.2
isn't too hard.
But, JDK 1.2 for Linux/x86 will include a JIT binary
offerrd by Sun.

The JIT may show a bit less performance than a JIT for
Solaris/x86. I don't think Sun optimized the JIT for
Linux with utilizing stuffs related deeply to OS, such
as signal.
