That should work, although I'm not sure the newly built hotspot libraries
will get copied into the previously built jdk image. You might watch out for
that.

Normally the jdk repository (specifically jdk/make/redist/Makefile) will
copy the hotspot libraries into the jdk build area, depending on what
OUTPUTDIR is set to. Kind of a pull or import action. Historic stuff. ;^)
