It's an amazingly tricky source tree (JVM + HotSpot), so making any
assertions about the code without look at it is precarious. ;)

Squirreling ? That's a new one. ;)

Alexey Zelkin is working on a 1.4 port, but it's currently got some
fundamental problems related to threads/signals and safepointing in
HotSpot.

For some reason my 1.3.1 port of that compiler completely avoided the
use of SIGUSR1 for dealing with rudimentary GC root sucking from a
thread's ucontext. It works close to perfect for some reason without it.
I'll have to look at the differences between both revisions of HotSpot
and see what changed in the JIT safepointing code, roll_forward()
and such. ;)
