I'm a little surprised this works -- I would have expected that
something (ld?  ld.so?), would want the objects to have the proper

Back in gcj 3.4.x jvgenmain used the pretend-the-class-is-an-int trick. It seemed to work well. jvgenmain from 4.2 seems to be a bit trickier, and use void *. But I would think the linker would still allow it.
