Some glibc functions had to be reimplemented in a dummy way inside JVM due to this misdesign.

That one failure: `Pre-submit tests - linux-x64 / test - Build / test` = `jdk/crac/fileDescriptors/LoggingVMlogOpenTestNegative.java` will IMO disappear after the change gets accepted. The testcase has been changed so that if you run it from the freshly built JVM it works. But Github IIUC runs the parent JVM pre-built, not from the fresh build: `/home/runner/work/crac/crac/bundles/jdk/jdk-25/bin/java`. Or where is this `bundle` JVM from?
