This is something I have been curious about: how well (if at all)
java's notion of secure class loading can be mapped to libgcj's
approach.
I suppose at least you could fill in the CodeSource of a shared
library, and have access rules based on that, but what about signed
code? Is it possible to digitially sign shared libraries similar to
the way one can sign jar files?
And what about verification? Is it even possible to verify compiled
code like one would verify bytecode?
