`vmClasses::Reference_klass()->set_reference_type(REF_NONE);` fails in `make
images`.
The relevant code is:
ClassFileParser::post_process_parsed_stream(...) {
...
_rt = (NULL ==_super_klass) ? REF_NONE : _super_klass->reference_type();
}
InstanceKlass::allocate_instance_klass(...) {
...
if (REF_NONE == parser.reference_type()) {
...
} else {
// reference
ik = new (loader_data, size, THREAD) InstanceRefKlass(parser);
}
}
The `else` branch is for non-strong refs and relies on the ref-type of their
super klass not being `REF_NONE`.
