Could we decouple `hotspot-static-libs` from `static-libs-image` somehow, 
please? `static-libs-image` is used by the `graal-builder-image` target and it 
would be good if it didn't include hotspot static libs as they are not needed 
for it.

Would it be sufficient to just use `hotspot-static-libs` directly? Like: `make 
static-libs-image hotspot-static-libs`? Failing that, could we introduce a new 
target that produces both?
