If I use gcj to compile .class -> .o, will unused constantpool entries
in the class file affect the size of the resultant .o?
I would expect not, but I'm just curious. If so I'll run the
classfiles through a decompiler and use the java source code.
Related question: can anybody give me a rough idea of what degree of
possible optimizations are lost by compiling .class -> .o instead of
.java -> .o?

In 1845 the Potato Famine decimated Irish agriculture because of lack
of genetic diversity. Over 150 years later, we still haven't learned
this lesson, which is why the plague of Microsoft viruses will
continue for as long as the software monoculture does.
