I see... Class.forName() now calls _Unwind_FindEnclosingFunction which
needs dl_iterate_phdr. (That also explains why 3.3 is much slower on this
test.) Thanks for the stack dump. I hadn't gotten a deadlock yet, but I
may have just been lucky.
I guess the simplest workaround is to #undef HAVE_DL_ITERATE_PHDR?
