So that would then mean updating the build file where we create these jmod file(s) to use a value for `--target-platform` that even includes the endianness in the string value, example: `aix-ppc64-big` and `macos-aarch64-little`. So a change here https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/make/CreateJmods.gmk#L252. Did I understand it correctly?

(Of course, need to make sure that new format doesn't break expectation of existing code which parses that string)
