.02, .03, .04 seem to be older and seem to include the changes to 
JDK-8252248 that Alexander Scherbatiy had out for review separately so 
I'll ignore those and just look at .01, I hope that is right.

I agree with David that the comment in java_md.c is excessive and 
unnecessary.

The WB API is mostly for the hotspot tests and looks a bit strange to be 
using it in the launcher tests to check for musl. Have you look at 
alternatives? The changes to the Process test to check for busybox is okay.
