This is just a macro that creates a dependency on the contents of the 
variable JRE_MODULES_LIST.

No, this is a separate dependency. It's the file named "release" in the 
image that is to be included. If it has changed we need to trigger a new 
image.

Do you get to this stage at all? I.e, can you see "Createing jre jimage" 
in the output? If not, there's a problem before we even get to this 
rule. Otherwise, the jlink command is likely broken. Try copy-pasting 
the full jlink command and running it from the shell directly to see 
what happens.
