This is definitely something I'd like to address.
I think part of it will come from implementing -findirect-dispatch.
Another part will require us to change the CNI ABI. I'm in favor of
requiring explicit registration of roots that the Java compiler
doesn't know about (i.e., globals that are in C++ source). This would
be an incompatible change.
