After reading Tom's note, things make some sense. I don't like it much,
but, well, that's the way it is. I'm glad I don't have to use gdb with
Java any more!

I will fix the failing test case as it is. I'll revisit how this all
*should* work when (or if) I attempt to eradicate MIPS_linkage_name
altogether.
