Yeah, gcj also creates an instance of java.lang.Class, which includes
all kinds of stuff like reflection data.  It's certainly possible to
do this in g++ as well, but it's never been a priority for us, we
haven't gotten all that many requests for it, and honestly I'm not
even certain that the g++ maintainers would approve it.
