I'll split the 'javastatic' static linking part into a separate branch for needed discussions (including the potential JEP part). That branch can be on the sideline and it can be to verify/test the other static linking related changes.

On the second thought, it might be cleaner to withdraw the current PR first and extract the .a part into a new PR.
