All the changes look good, the regression test
jdk/test/tools/pack200 and jdk/test/tools/jar
must be run, as jprt does not run these by default,
also suggest a full control build using jdk, deploy and install.

Yes intrinsic.properties *must* be present in the system, I think we
added the
logic to fail in the early development days to ensure this is always
present,
and is specifically needed for jcov builds required by SQE.

RE will be fine here, as you have already detected this condition should
never happen
unless there was a build issue.
