Aaron,
I have posted a document called "Trampolines in the Kaffe JIT Compiler"
which you may find useful. I also spent a long time trying to understand
the JIT. This document is part of the fruit of that effort. You'll find
it at http://www.cs.pdx.edu/~sanseri/kaffe/k2.html.
This document has an appendix which traces a portion of the call tree
for invocation of Kaffe. The tree includes file names and function names
as well as a brief description of what the function is doing.
