This looks like the environmental trouble? It seems to try to allocate 2G heap, and cannot find
(contiguous) memory for it? I would suspect recent changes to make it more likely, for example:
  https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8224871

I build and test x86_32 regularly, but not bootcycle it.

Current jdk/jdk does not build on x86_32, due to JDK-8225695.
Current jdk/jdk13 build and runs on x86_32 fine, tier1 seems good too.
