There is a known issue that causes build failure due to resource problem, which causes the `fastdebug` build fail in github workflow.

Sorry for not looking at this sooner. 

It looks to me that you are trying to work-around a little mess introduced by `static-libs-bundles` addition ([JDK-8337265](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8337265)). Not your mess, but trying to avoid it introduces more headaches. I am somewhat surprised we even have `static-libs-bundles` as additional target in what I would consider a generic `build-linux` job! It looks cleaner to yank `static-libs-bundles` into a separate build job, which would then allow your PR to proceed by just calling `build-linux` normally, without introducing a wholly new job script. Let me try to fix `static-libs-bundles` first.
