Patch: RFA: fix PR java/21722


This patch fixes PR java/21722.

First, the bug only applies with -findirect-dispatch.  The bug is that
if we see a constant when compiling a class, and the constant comes
from another class we are also compiling in the same invocation, then
we end up generating a "real" field reference, and not a reference via
the atable.  This is wrong as all references must go via the atable.

This fix simply disables this approach when compiling from class files
and using indirect dispatch.

I didn't change the indirect-dispatch-but-compiling-from-.java case,
because in that case (when it works) we will still be required to
inline constant fields.  (The language restrictions about inlining
constants don't apply in the .class file case, and one could argue
that inlining here would actually be wrong... as if inlining was
meant, the class file would have simply contained a constant pool
ref.)

BTW I don't understand why the "constant" case here returns the field
and not its DECL_INITIAL.


I tested this against our test suite on x86 FC2.  I also rebuilt
Eclipse and ran a smoke test without problems.  Ok?

	PR java/21722:
	* class.c (build_static_field_ref): Don't fold constant fields if
	current class is from a .class file and we're using indirect
	dispatch.
