If the file system to be linked contains long paths, it could result in 'File name too long' errors, like can be seen [here](https://github.com/gdams/jdk11u-dev/actions/runs/3563481453/jobs/5986319107). We can avoid this by calling Windows mklink to create a file system junction. Presumably that would also help build performance (though not verified).

@erikj79 I would like to use these make conditionals but somehow it doesn't work out. What am I doing wrong, any idea/hint?
