> As a prerequisite for Hermetic Java, we need a statically linked `java` launcher. It should behave like the normal, dynamically linked `java` launcher, except that all JDK native libraries should be statically, not dynamically, linked.
>
> This patch is the first step towards this goal. It will generate a `static-jdk` image with a statically linked launcher. This launcher is missing several native libs, however, and does therefore not behave like a proper dynamic java. One of the reasons for this is that local symbol hiding in static libraries are not implemented yet, which causes symbol clashes when linking all static libraries together. This will be addressed in an upcoming patch.
