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

[Alexander Zvegintsev]

Hi Anthony,

As you can see in this issue history it was resolved as not an issue 
firstly.
I am not a fan this changes too, however, it was supposed by Sergey and
Victor to fix these tests since the fix looks safe for now.
I'd actually prefer to not change these tests too.

Sergey, Victor, what do you think?
