+Summary: arch_create_jit_trampoline should not return a compiled method
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+Currently, arch_create_jit_trampoline returns the JITed code for a method 
+if such code exists, instead of a trampoline. This is incorrect, since the
+returned code might be put in a vtable without applying unbox_trampoline()
+to it. This condition is a bit hard to produce with mcs generated code,
+so the testcase is in IL. It prints 'True' under mint and MS .NET, and
+'False' under mono.
+
+A fix would be to either:
+- add a 'virtual' argument to the create_... function
+- remove the offending code altogether
+
+I suggest the later since it is rarely called, so it offers no real
+performance improvement.
+
+I mentioned this problem on a mailing list some time ago, but it got 
+forgotten, so I'm reporting it here.
