The root cause is that, even tough we’re passing “-classpath
build/classes:src”, only the first element of the classpath is
searched.  If we pass “-classpath foobar:build/classes”, then Main.class
is not found.  That suggests another problem with ‘stat’-related
functions.

Hmm -O0 is brute-force.  It doesn’t work for me though if I also remove
the ‘remove-call-to-free’ phase, though.

I also tried this Classpath patch:

diff --git a/include/jni_md.h b/include/jni_md.h
index 989dbfe..f7867d7 100644
--- a/include/jni_md.h
+++ b/include/jni_md.h
@@ -32,7 +32,7 @@ executable file might be covered by the GNU General Public License. */
 #define JNIEXPORT
 #define JNIIMPORT
 
-typedef unsigned char jboolean;
+typedef int jboolean;
 typedef signed char jbyte;
 typedef unsigned short jchar;
 typedef short jshort;
It seems to have the same effect as my initial patch.

I’m lacking inspiration now!
