Re: [BC ABI] For entertainment purposes only: gcj-JIT

Oh, one other thing: I found a bug where we still aren't properly
binary compatible.  For static fields, we still use a fixed offset
into the class.

This is because 

  /* FIXME: The gcj runtime is broken in that atable references to
     static fields in interpreted classes aren't fixed up until too
     late.  When this is fixed we can re-enable this code.  */

.. this is all to do with the time whan we do resolution, as we
discussed before.  Somehow we need to defer resolving the references
to data until they're used.
