They look ok. My concern (as discussed in https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/19478#issuecomment-2278421931) is that these runtime changes for static JDK can't be tested even they are relatively simple, without the the actual linking change. Any timeline for the static linking changes? ------------- PR Review: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/20666#pullrequestreview-2252486767
