Argh. I spoke without actually checking and it turned out that my memory
was wrong.
The actual struct for Hjava_lang_Object is *not* created by kaffeh.
Kaffeh has specific bits of code to avoid emitting any field information
for java.lang.Object and java.lang.Class, since those classes are
somewhat special.
Instead, the actual definition of Hjava_lang_Object can be found in the
file include/native.h.

That's wrong advice, sorry for that. Actually, the right way to insert a
field into Object is to add it to the definition in include/native.h.
I've attached a patch, which adds a void * data, and passes the
regression tests (make check). I have not tested it further, but I am
sure you'll have some fun with that. ;)
