+Summary: classes without an explicit static constructor should be marked BeforeFieldInit
+
+The MS compiler marks classes without an explicit static constructor as
+BeforeFieldInit, while mcs does not. This is a problem since performance
+sensitive classes like String and HashTable are not marked as 
+beforefieldinit. JITted code does not suffer because of this, but
+Ahead of Time compiled code does, since the AOT compiler must then insert
+calls to mono_runtime_class_init () before _every_ static field access in
+these classes.
