libgcj claims to :-).  We had to hack Reference.java a little.

   http://gcc.gnu.org/java/compare/java.lang.ref.Reference.diff

I don't remember the rationale for all the changes at this moment, but
I could dig them up if someone really needs to know.  Some of them
can't be understood without also looking at how we implement the
native parts of this code.

I wouldn't expect a VM to need any changes outside of Reference.
