Hello,
Nice cleanup overall.
In CoreLibraries.gmk: I don't think it's safe to use $(BUILD_LIBFDLIB)
directly as input to LIBS. That variable may contain other targets as
well (such as debug symbol files and soon compile_commands.js snippets).
A safer variable to use is $(BUILD_FDLIBM_TARGET). I even documented
this as an output variable in NativeCompilation.gmk. I realize this was
already used before your patch however.
I would expect a certain level of testing to be done for a change like
this to make sure all affected libraries are verified.

There's a bunch of interrelated smelly code regarding static libraries

I started by turning libfdlibm into a static library on macosx, as on
all other platforms. It turned out that we don't have proper support
for static libraries on macosx, so I fixed this too.
Secondly, I removed the libjli_static.a for macosx. There is no good
reason to have it. It's probably just a left-over from the old Apple
port to macosx. This in turn prompted some additional related cleanup
in LauncherCommon.gmk.
