AFAIK, graal needs the combined `graal-builder-image` as input to their build anyway, so they should not have any dependency on what the target `static-libs-image` produces. Given that I propose the following behavior:

Sure, that should work too as long as there is a way to a) build the static libs only needed for graal some way b) keep `graal-builder-image` working as it does today. FWIW, we use `a)` at adoptium so as to be able to have a combination to build mandrel from. Not all users will want to have JDK + static libs so only the ones needing them should need to download them.
