Hello Jiangli, if I understand this change correctly, then this is forcing a 
non-JNI library to be a JNI library for it to work on static JDK. Is that a 
requirement for static JDK builds? Or is it just a convenient way to use 
existing library loading mechanism in the `jdk.internal.loader.NativeLibraries`?

Are there other similar libraries shipped in JAVA_HOME/lib that would require a 
similar change/treatment?
