  Argh.  You're replacing a bunch of warnings that draw attention to a real
problem by a bunch of silent fixmes in the code.  That's a bit scary to me.

  Question is, can we change the sizes of the members of class objects, such
as gnu::java::net::PlainSocketImpl::native_fd, or do these objects and their
layout form part of an ABI, and/or do they ever get serialised?  The Java guys
will be able to tell us.
