I believe the Java dynamic class objfile is the only anonymous objfile
we have. It's used as a place to store debug information that isn't
associated to any actual physical file. Probably jv-lang.c's use of
it is a hack; having said that, our choices are, basically, either to
give up on Java debugging or to continue to deal with this hack.
I'm very glad that Tom has provided a reproducible test case for this;
I would suggest checking it in to our test suite ASAP. My only qualm
with it is that I can't compile the test case myself, because my
installed GCJ (whatever came with Red Hat 8.0) doesn't know about
Arc2D. Tom: is there some RPM that I can download to fix that (or I
could just recompile GCJ myself), or (better) is it possible to modify
the test case to use a more widely-available package?
