I can see your point, but both the solutions feel wrong to me. I can't
make up my mind which is the less bad.

I guess the mailing list software stripped it out. I did attach it.

Old habits :)

Webrev is at:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~omajid/webrevs/jawt-link-regression/00/

I have also put up a test case at:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~omajid/jawt-test.tar.gz

The test case is the exact same as that on
http://download.java.net/jdk8/docs/technotes/guides/awt/AWT_Native_Interface.html,
except it automates the building and running. You will have to edit the
makefile to set the value of JDK_HOME. It should point to a j2sdk-image
directory.

Then do:
$ make
$ make run

Without the fix it should print an UnsatisfiedLinkError. With the fix,
it should show a window.

Errors building hotspot, I seem to recall. But I cant reproduce it
anymore after pulling today. I can now confirm that the fix works for me
with jdk8 too.

Thanks,
