Well, that sort of follows from using libjava.a - standard linker
technology leaves out unreferenced .o files, when doing a static
link. Normally, we would compile each java class to a single .o file.
(Actually, it may make sense to have a somewhat smarter linker,
but that's more detail than I feel like getting into.)
