I think it used to create the CDS archive, but the .jsa files are now
packaged, and the dump failure was ignored anyway.

It's just a bit odd to install something that's not going to work.

It's also not clear to me if you can get away without /proc anymore,
given that GNU utilities heavily lean towards fchmodat and lchmod, and
the glibc implementation for these functions nowadays requires /proc
(the Linux fchmodat system call is incomplete).
