Any thoughts on the LDFLAGS filtering? Shouldn't this only be done on

There was a time (1.4) when ONLY Solaris had a separate headless library.
I alluded to this in https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8071710
Headless for Linux was added in 1.5.
So we may be dealing with some really old technical debt.
