JDK-4175911 - Miranda methods should be marked with Synthetic attribute.
Description
Miranda methods should have the synthetic attribute set.  A change for
this was going to be added along with other changes affecting serialization
(bug 4169272).  It has been decided that those changes are not approved
for 1.2 because of potential destabilization, so the Miranda/synthetic
fix needs to be applied separately.
Comments
EVALUATION This is "The Right Thing", but may have some minor compatibility implications, due to the fact that the compiler's current behavior is the "de-facto" spec for Miranda methods. william.maddox@Eng 1999-02-19
