Hello Everyone,

I am hard at work on porting Rhino to arm/linux.  I am using my own port
of gcj-3.3.2 to build Rhino and it is ALMOST entirely working.  Most of
the problems I've had in porting have been in the double-maths
department.  I now have arithmetic and math functions mostly working,
but a very odd problem remains:

In JS, multiplication DOES NOT WORK.  I am able to do multiplication
correctly with just "plain Java" using the underlying arm-elf-linux-gcj,
but when attempted from JS the result of multiplying any 2 operands is
always zero.

I am certainly not asking for anyone to debug this - I know it's a very
exotic configuration and I expected (and had) lots of trouble in getting
the port working.  What I need to know is - where should I look for this
problem?  Any ideas out there in Rhino-land??

TIA,
