Should we build jrt-fs.jar again with the "Build JDK" ?

[Andrew Leonard]

Thanks for the clarification Alan.

To ensure the reproducibility of the whole JDK image regardless of the
specific bootjdk used, would it make sense once the "Build JDK" has been
built, we re-build jrt-fs.jar again using the "Build JDK" ? Thus jrt-fs.jar
will be consistent with the rest of the image in terms of what it is
compiled with.

Cheers
Andrew
