Wouldn't we really want to do `final' checking in the bytecode
verifier?  Ok, we don't have a verifier, so interpret.cc is the
logical choice.  But in the long term we'd want to move this check to
the verifier, right?

    _Jv_Field fld;
    Class k = fld.getClass ();

Or am I missing something?

See libjava/gcj/field.h.
