During `java -Xshare:dump -XX:-UseCompressedOops`, the location of the Java 
heap is chosen by the OS. Due to Address Space Layout Randomization, the heap 
will always start at a different location. This causes the archive for 
uncompressed oops ($JAVA_HOME/lib/server/classes_nocoops.jsa) to be 
non-deterministic.

The fix is to patch the archived object pointers to make it look like the heap 
starts at a fixed address -- I chose 0x10000000, but the exact value doesn't 
really matter.

At runtime, the object pointers will be patched again according to the real 
location of the heap.

Tested with tiers 1-5. I am running builds-tier5 several times to test the 
xxx-cmp-baseline builds.
