I have an editorial note, though, @caojoshua: the bug says "VM build fails", but Harfbuzz is not technically part of VM. I understand it was like that before you took it. It would be better to rename the bug and this PR to "Build fails with GCC 7 after JDK-8301998", before it leaked into the permanent history of commits :)
