It'd be simpler if we could avoid patching ToolProvider. The ctsym
generator is a build tool. Jan and Jon may have suggestion if the build
tool can find the compiler from the interim module instead and use
--limit-modules to java.base?

The ctsym generator in Gendata-jdk.compiler.gmk looks up the tool
using the ToolProvider. That part of the change was just a reaction to
ctsym generation failing.

To generate the new modules, I copy the module-info.java files to a

What issue did you run into without patching ToolProvider? I have assumed
the build always launches javac/javadoc main class and not using
ToolProvider.
580 JAVAC_MAIN_CLASS = -m jdk.compiler.interim/com.sun.tools.javac.Main
581 JAVADOC_MAIN_CLASS = -m
