<AWT Dev> [8] Review request for JDK-8029447 [TEST_BUG] AWT toolkit initialization fails with UnsatisfiedLinkError on linux x64

[Anthony Petrov]

Hi Alexander,

On the one hand, I agree that the nature of the tests is headless, and 
thus running them in this mode looks appropriate in general.

On the other hand, I see that the root cause of the tests failure is a 
misconfigured PC on which the tests are being run. This issue can bite 
us (or rather, the tester) later on. Besides, the app-context related 
code may (in theory and/or in the future) behave differently in the 
headfull vs. headless mode, and this latter issue will in fact bite us.

So, if you really-really want to fix this for JDK 8 now, you may 
consider this fix reviewed. However, I'd prefer to fix the PC's 
configuration instead of pushing this patch, or at least file a separate 
issue so that the configuration could be fixed later.
