Across JDK tests I see two tests use @library pointing to compiled jars, however in both cases the jars are a part of the tests source tree. Is there a way to pre-compile a test library and point related tests (or maybe all hotspot tests) to the library jar?

FYI: I've triggered full tiers 1 - 8 testing.
