Hello @YaSuenag, I haven't had a chance to build your change locally and try it myself, but I suspect this change isn't enough to address the issue. Does this change allow for:


jlink ... --add-options --add-exports java.base/jdk.internal.misc=ALL-UNNAMED

to work correctly and have the `--add-exports java.base/jdk.internal.misc=ALL-UNNAMED` be considered as the option value for `--add-options`.

Additionally, do the current tests pass with your proposed change?
