No, they shouldn't. If this happens it causes duplicate symbol error during linkage phase.
For GraalVM native image we select what library should be linked based on `-Djava.awt.headless` property.

For GraalVM native image, we run JCK tests `api/java_awt` and `api/javax_swing`. Those tests built as a native image.
