I did a bit of archaeology here and have linked a number of existing JBS issues 
to JDK-8318696.

I don't know the exact history as to why we chose to use LFS64 vs FOB64 
(perhaps glibc version limitations?) but it is clear (e.g. from 
[JDK-8062658](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8062658)) that there has been 
confusion about when to use the 64-bit variants in the JDK. For Hotspot I don't 
see any issue switching to  FOB64 in place of LFS64. So the outlined plan seems 
good.
