Certain downstream consumers of the JDK need to link to parts of it statically. To support this usecase, this patch adds a set of optional make targets that produce static native libraries for a selection of modules. These static libraries do not end up in the main JDK distribution but are instead packaged in a separate bundle that can be optionally overlayed on top of a JDK bundle. The new targets are only built when requested and are not added as dependencies on any existing target.
