It is definitely there.

Yes, it should be inlined.  I think it shouldn't be emitted in
natClass.o.  Do you know why it is happening?

Ideally it would work as is just like it does on other platforms.

Less ideally, we could add a dummy argument to the constructor in
Class.h.  We can't remove the constructor from Class.java as that
constructor is required by the spec.
