This request is tied to bugid 8005716 that deals with adding support for
statically linked JNI libraries.

The main piece of functionality is to check for the presence of
JNI_OnLoad_libname to determine if the library specified by 'libname'
has been statically linked into the VM. If the symbol is found, it is
assumed that the library is linked in and will not be dynamically loaded.
