I don't think so, the root of the problem is that once you call into user 
code, all bets are off.  For example:

  Class loadClass(String name)
  {
     Class retval;

     ...
     retval.newInstance();
     return retval;
  }

The call to newInstance() will be the first-use, so the VM will have to 
complete linking before loadClass() returns control to the VM.
