As for libffi,I was using the cvs version 2.X. As for threadsafety, I am not sure that is the issue at all. Given the sysdepCallMethod now exists for ppc, it should improve performance over libffi (simply less overhead) (if you can get libffi to work). Try a cvs checkout of kaffe, it should build and work with both unix-jthreads and unix-pthreads.
