[Bug libgcj/14781] New: Need flag to disable bytecode verification

[rmathew at hotmail dot com]

There is currently no way to disable bytecode verification
of loaded classes in gij, except by either commenting out 
the call to _Jv_VerifyMethod( ) in libjava/resolve.cc
or by emptying out the body of that method in 
libjava/verify.cc and then recompiling the whole
of libgcj!

Needless to say this is quite tedious.

Sun's JVMs support the following flags that should
be implemented by gij as well:

  -noverify       Do not do bytecode verification.
  -verify         Verify *all* loaded bytecode.

In addition, Sun's JVMs do not verify the classes in
the bootstrap CLASSPATH by default, unless explicitly
instructed by using the "-verify" flag. Again, gij
could benefit from this "optimisation".
