I don't think that anyone is proposing to do that, so we can discount it altogether.

> However, if we are to allow the person building OpenJDK to _optionally_ generate the headers from a Sleef source checkout (provided by the user with a `--with-sleef-src=/path/to/sleef`), we can then more easily take the assumption that the user has installed the necessary dependencies. That would also be in line with how binutils is being built and integrated.

Mmm, but we don't need to do that.
