Yes. There is no way to directly represent "foo.class" in Java
bytecode. Instead Java compilers generate a synthetic method that
uses Class.forName() to find the class. This means that when you
compile the .class to .o, you no longer have a direct reference to the
symbol.
I don't think you said what platform you're on. If you can I highly
recommend using dynamic linking instead of static linking. That will
fix all these difficulties.
