[Bug libgcj/17738] New: Binary Compatibility: _Jv_FindClassInCache

["tromey at gcc dot gnu dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

Right now I think interpreted classes and other things
loaded by the system class loader are stored in the
internal class cache.

First, this seems incorrect.  I think it would be better
to use this only for classes that are linked into the
application and thus registered before the VM has been
brought up.  Once the VM is up, new classes should be
registered with the system ClassLoader (via the loadedClasses
map).

Second, I believe we do multiple calls to _Jv_FindClassInCache
when trying to load a class.  With the change above we should
only need one, at the very lowest level of the search.
