This is a reasonable short-term solution.  As we discussed, we should
look into extending jlink to create the native launcher using @argfile
in a future release.

make/launcher/LauncherCommon.gmk

+# EXTRA_JAVA_ARGS Processed into a -DEXTRA_JAVA_ARGS and is prependedi

typo: s/prependedi/prepended

src/java.base/share/native/launcher/main.c
  It may help to detect if main_jargc == 0 but extra_jargc > 0 and exit with an error in case any bug in creating such a launcher.
