It was pointed out that the changes to Images.gmk could be made simpler.
Here is a new webrev:

Looks good! So JRE images (incl compact profiles) are stripped and JDK
images has full debug!
Thanks,

For a long time, a lot of people have been wanting the JDK classes to
be compiled with debug symbols enabled by default. I believe the
reason we haven't so far is to keep footprint down for the JRE image.
The usecase for debug information is mainly in the JDK image, which is
used for development. The problem so far has then been that we don't
want to compile everything twice, once with and once without debug
symbols.
With jlink, we now have the option of stripping debug information at
link time. This adds a bit of time creating the images, but it's small
compared to recompiling all classes. Because of this, I propose that
we enable debug symbols for all java compilation in the build by
default and add stripping to all images that are footprint sensitive.
