Since Kaffe developers were busy preparing in-coming version 1.1.8, I
would suggest you to use cvs head[1] instead.

'/openmoko/mokodev/build/tmp/work/i686-linux/kaffeh-native-1.1.7-r3/kaffe-1.1.7/libraries/javalib/external/classpath/configure'

So, it showed that you even failed to compile native kaffe utilities
such as kaffeh.  I am not sure if kaffe specific bitbake recipes are
maintained or not.   I have tried to skip kaffeh-native and use the
freshly installed one.  Then, do cross-build as described in
FAQ/FAQ.cross-compiling, and it worked for me.
