Yes - gcj. Gcj is part of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) and
compiles java source- and byte-code to native code (as well as source
to byte-code). GCC has a new experimental SSA option. The manual
says:


@item -fssa
Perform optimizations in static single assignment form. Each function's
flow graph is translated into SSA form, optimizations are performed, and
the flow graph is translated back from SSA form. User's should not
specify this option, since it is not yet ready for production use.




See http://gcc.gnu.org and http://sources.redhat.com/java/
