[Bug java/28892] New: assignment to static field not in class initializer

[tromey at gcc dot gnu dot org]

Currently we error out if there is an assignment to a static final field
(in a .class file) which is not in the class' static initializer.
This constraint is apparently not enforced by the JDK -- meaning that
we reject class files which run on the JDK.  Class files like this are
generated by retroweaver; see:
