NestedVM (http://nestedvm.ibex.org/) has some tech to target GCC to JVM by
compiling code to MIPS ISA, implementing a MIPS VM, and a MIPS libc/system
call to JNI interface. Some wild concepts that actually work well
(http://www.zentus.com/sqlitejdbc/) and are starting to be used by others like
emscripten (https://github.com/kripken/emscripten , https://github.com/kripken
, https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/wiki), pdf.js
(https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js)
