This is becasue WEAK is broken in the Mingw toolchain.
See http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2005-09/msg00045.html.
and the patch at
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java-patches/2005-q3/msg00400.html
This patch is good, but it hasn't been applied. I can't apply it
because I don't use Mingw, so I can't test it. If anyone reading this
wants to check in ths patch, pleas do so.
Andrew.
