I am *really* interested in you project an I am following the github
project. Currently and during the last week I am not able to compile out
of the box on my Ubuntu 9.10.
My build process crashes with the following error:

Hi,
Today, Vadim finished implementing all of the opcodes, and now "Hello
world" in haXe works. This includes jitting and running all of the
haXe neko runtime before finally printing "Hello world". Jitting the
runtime takes about a second, but it is a significant milestone: now
it works.
From now on, the next steps are to try with bigger haXe programs, and
fix any remaining bugs. After this, work can start to profile and
optimize this stuff. Right now, about 19 of the opcodes are C
callbacks, and thus not subject to LLVM's optimizations. Depending on
what the profiling and optimization work turns out, some of those
opcodes can be rewritten to LLVM opcodes to expose more stuff to
optimizations.
The link to the code is here:

Go check it out. If you have a Linux box, it is really easy to compile
the code and try it out.
Regards,
Asger
