In gcj's case, this class only has a private constructor; from the native code we can circumvent the language-level access checks. I.e., it is an implementation detail. I think this is a situation of wanting to be cautious and not expose potentially unsafe code at the user level. Our gnu.gcj.runtime.VMClassLoader understands how to dlopen() .so files.
