This is possible in theory, but in practice I don't know that anybody
has tried it and reported back.
The basic idea is to make a single library and either rely on libltdl
to find the symbols there. In this scenario you'd still need to
comment out the loadLibrary() calls.

See natRuntime.cc:_Jv_FindSymbolInExecutable to see exactly how
symbols are found at runtime. Basically we iterate over all known
libraries and ask libltdl about them.
