Zero JVM variant build broken by JDK-8150044?

[Severin Gehwolf]

Hi,

I'm looking into a build failure we are seeing for the Zero JVM variant
build of JDK 9. The failure looks like this:

Generating lib/classlist

So it seems the build after JDK-8150044 uses -Xshare:dump during the
build process. However, that option isn't supported for Zero and will
likely never be. Is there a way to turn "generate-classlist" off?

Thanks,
Severin
