Patch: PR java/20338 - Call _Jv_InitClass for private static methods in an inner class

[Ranjit Mathew <rmathew at gmail dot com>]

Hi,

  This patch proposes to fix PR java/20338 by allowing a call to
_Jv_InitClass to be emitted for a private static method if it is inside
an inner class. Tested on i686-pc-linux-gnu with Jacks included
and causes no regressions.

When I tried to add a testcase for this however, I noted a 
queer thing: if the class file is generated by GCJ, gij throws
an IllegalAccessError, while JDK 1.4.2_03 does not. If the
class file is generated by JDK instead, gij seems to 
execute it just fine. I did not probe it further though.

OK for mainline?

Thanks,
Ranjit.
