        A reference to a method declared in a package-access class (via a public subtype) compiles to a lambda bridge; the qualifying type in the bridge method is the declaring class, not the referenced class. This leads to an IllegalAccessError.

        package p1;
        class A {
            public static void m() { System.out.println("A.m"); }
        }

        package p1;
        public class B extends A {
        }
        ---
        package p2;
        public class Test {
            public static void main(String... args) {
                p1.B.m(); // ok
                Runnable r = p1.B::m; r.run(); // runtime error
            }
        }
