KAWA: Experimenting Kawa with Gcj is not working

[Erol Akarsu]

Hi Cris,

Thanks Chris. I appreciate your immediate help.

Your suggestion worked. Next thing, I will run some benchmarks on Kawa and
compare it with Bigloo Scheme compiler. I expect performance of Kawa with Gcj
would be fairly close to Bigloo.

Thanks
