Note that this would seriously slow down compilation, which is
already too slow.  You're basically doing twice as much work:
First Jikes has to process all the (.java or .class) it needs
to compile a file, then compile it.  Then gcj has to process
that .class file and any other class files references, and then
recover any structure from the bytecode so that it can generate\
good native code.
