CC_INTERP broken in jdk7 hotspot on x86_64

[Ivo Anjo]

Thanks for all the quick answers, and sorry for missing the older
thread that couldn't be more obvious: "C++ Interpreter on 64-bit
Linux".

The usage of the C++ interpreter would be interesting because it would
allow me to run it in tandem with the JIT stuff, but maybe I was
aiming too high anyway, so Zero is probably the best way to start.

Again, thanks for all the feedback

It worked for several configuration when it was first introduced but things have diverged a bit since then.
