Have you looked at either sjavac or the JDK_FILTER features to reduce the 
overhead of compiling the jdk target?

My concern is that primarily that any "wart" or special case we add now to the 
build process becomes the "wart" we have to support forever and this could make 
future efforts like making sjavac compilation the default suddenly more 
difficult.

If there are reasons to do it differently for the security components beyond 
what every jdk developer might want (not recompile the 9900 files every build) 
then those might certainly provide rationale.

This could be corrected by changing the default to "images". The current 
default isn't really useful to anyone.
