True. However, these are only initial, one-time costs, if
I understand it right. And they're far smaller than jitting a method.
There is the memory cost.

Besides, I just don't see how you would want to accomplish this in
practice. egcs is very much in flux, Cygnus doesn't include Kaffe patches,
do you want to branch off egcs? Viel Spass damit.
