I apologize for bouncing this one back and forth between open and draft. I 
thought I had verified everything but then I discovered two missing includes on 
Windows. And then GHA failed on linux-x86 for libfallbackLinker. Now these are 
fixed; I have confirmed that Windows builds properly on Oracle's CI system, and 
that libfallbackLinker works locally on a linux-x86 build, so I'm just waiting 
for GHA to confirm this.

I have also run tier1 + tier2 on Oracle's CI system for windows x64, linux 
x64/aarch64 and macos x64/aarch64, without failures. (The Windows run is still 
waiting for a few tests to finish.) 

Furthermore I have checked with COMPARE_BUILD, and the only differences I can 
see is related to library linking: On macOS and Linux, most libraries linked 
with "-ljvm -ljava" as default before, regardless of if they were needed or 
not. Now we only link with these libraries if needed, so this changes the 
bit-by-bit comparison for almost all libraries. On Windows, there was just a 
few libraries that had dependency changes. As far as I can tell, all changes 
discovered were related to the change in dynamic library dependencies.
