Ok, I can confirm that moving this to be a well-known class will result in a `java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: jdk/internal/foreign/abi/ProgrammableUpcallHandler` error while trying to build the JDK. I think this is because the particular class is in an incubator module, which is not always present.

I think we'll have to stick with the lazy resolution instead.
