...speaking of which: I tried to remove comments for things like:

//private static final long serialVersionUID =3D 3206093459760846163L;

from ex. java.io.Serializable and apparently, when the code is compiled
with the latest jikes SableVM bombs out in initialization.c when finds
<clinit> method that contains initialization of this field.

Q: Assuming for the moment that I don't care what is inside of <clinit>
what method should I call here, from within
 svmf_special_initialization (_svmt_JNIEnv *env, _svmt_class_info
 *class) to execute this method ?

Q: Do we have any flag that says that we're in bootstrap stage
(I haven't found any), or should I add one (in env, I guess)?

Q: Wouldn't prepare_code.c be good place to restrict what bytecodes
can be prepared for execution at bootstrap stage?
