These test changes to improve space efficiency get necessary after [8351842: Windows specific issues in combination of JEP 493 and --with-external-symbols-in-bundles=public](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8351842) and [8373246: JDK-8351842 broke native debugging on Linux](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8373246) which leaves external debug info files in the images of debug builds by default now. We don't know what configurations are built & tested at Oracle or other vendors but in our case where we do build and test debug builds, we see largely increased disk consumption which will be reduced/mitigated by that change. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/32009#issuecomment-5093418077
