[Bug java/19870] gcj -C doesn't generate accessors for private members across nested class boundaries

outer_field_access_p(), build_outer_field_access(), etc. are only for non-static
fields (instance variables). Even for some simple testcases, I could not get GCJ
to emit correct bytecode for non-static instance variables. Lastly these methods
 are for access from inside a nested class to a private member in a containing
class, not the other way round as given in the testcase for this PR.

So a significant surgery is indeed needed to make these cases work with GCJ.

If anyone is working on a patch to fix this, I would certainly like to hear from
them - I have a partially working patch, but I don't know if I'd be able to
finish it given the lack of skills as well as time on my part.
