I don't particularly care for this approach.
The correct general solution is to support some option
to specify classes that should be loaded. The gcj
wrapper can easily mangle this into a '-u' linker option.
I don't understand how forcing gnu.java.locale.Calendar
to get loaded really helps since you're don't know which
locale you will need. However, I suggest the following:
Add a static method to gnu.java.locale.Calendar:
 public static ResourceBundle getBundle(Locale locale)
 {
 // This can possibly be optimized.
 return getBundle("gnu.java.locale.Calendar", locale);
 }
and in Date.java replace getBundle calls:
 ResourceBundle rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle(bundleName, locale);
by:
 ResourceBundle rb = gnu.java.locale.Calendar.getBundle(locale);
