Heya Tom,

"In JDK11 and JDK12, source files are compiled with -qvisibility=hidden 
when using xlc version other than 12.1. That doesn't seem to play well 
with link option -bexpall. "

Found that buried in one of the associated Git issues. It appears that
it's OpenJDK's use of that option that's causing the problem, though
I couldn't speculate as to why it was added in the first place.

I see this has also been noted in 
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8204541

Does that answer your question?

Best Regards

Adam Farley
