For the case of java/util/iso4217.properties it would be Something like: 
 -Wl,-u -Wl,_ZGr5_java5_util20_iso4217$_properties

Alternately in some C or C++ object that is linked you could do:

extern "C" {
extern int  _ZGr5_java5_util20_iso4217$_properties;
static int *foo = &_ZGr5_java5_util20_iso4217$_properties;
}


For gnu/java/util/regex/MessagesBundle, you would have to figure out how 
it mangles.  The easiest would be to paste in the output of nm run on 
the object to see how it was mangled.
