Maybe we should for now limit the dead_strip  to the JDK native libs ?

This would avoid the trouble with the HS debug helpers coding and the  serviceability agent  (but in the long run we have this trouble also with linktime-gc and probably LTO which can be enabled by OpenJDK configure, not only with this macOS-linker related flag this PR is about ).
