Is this just to test that minimal is working? If so, you could just as
well run a separate task with "configure --with-jvm-variants=minimal &&
make hotspot". Unless you are actually shipping this configuration, that
does not seem like a solid reason for keeping this functionality in the
build.

Are there still any realistic scenarios where anyone builds multiple variants of
Hotspot in the same configuration?
This was basically introduced for 32-bit builds, where both the server and the
client variant of Hotspot were built. In Oracle at least, we stopped building
multiple JVM variants a long time ago.
Since the build system is taxed with convoluted logic in places just to support
this, I?d prefer to remove it if it is not used anymore. So, is there anyone out
there, still doing this?
