I checked in a couple patches last night that fix this problem.
Basically we now call setAccessible() on the Method and Field objects.
We do this via AccessController.doPrivileged, to avoid pesky security
checks.

I think this should be correct for any VM; I'd like to recommend it as
a method to solve this sort of problem anywhere in Classpath.  It is
already used in at least one other place, ResourceBundle.

Classpath just has stubs for the important parts of AccessController.
I guess another VMsomething class is in order here.
