As of Gingerbread, a normal build of Android on a Linux host includes a host-targeted version of dalvikvm. Though it's not an officially supported deployment configuration, we run regression tests on it regularly (for an x86 host). I am personally interested in hearing any experiences (positive or negative) of people running E on Dalvik, either on Android or on a big computer. Also, FWIW, the floating point parsing code that Dalvik includes is derived from Apache Harmony. AIUI, the Harmony floating point parsing code had a bug similar to the one that's now being widely re-reported against the JDK, but it was fixed several years ago already. Cheers, -dan
