Do you see the definition of Class::Class() in
gcc/libjava/java/lang/Class.h (around line 221)?
I'm doing a static build for mingw; perhaps on other platforms the
constructor gets inlined or otherwise stripped.
I'm curious to know the "right solution" to this problem, since I'll
want to incorporate it into the patch I submit next week.
