I reported a bug in using kopisusu to the developer in that it fails
to properly compile valid code, spitting out an error message that is
incorrect.  I have not tried kjc from http://www.dms.at/kopi/ but my
guess is it might work better.

Use configure with --with-java=/usr/local/jdk1.3/bin/java
--with-kjc=../../kjc-suite-1.5B-bin.jar in your case after downloading
the kjcj-suite-1.5B-bin.jar file.  Known to work are jikes 1.13 and
gcj 3.0.2.

I think the 'main' class is the same in both cases and is set in
lib/Makefile.am if you need to modify it.

If you're not compiling the JNI libraries, you do not need the
automake/autoconf versions listed in HACKING.
