RFR(XS): 8060721: Test runtime/SharedArchiveFile/LimitSharedSizes.java fails in jdk 9 fcs new platforms/compiler

[Dean Long]

I'm just curious if the following also works:

  721     strcat(class_list_path_str, (volatile char *)os::file_separator());
  722     strcat(class_list_path_str,(volatile char *)"classlist");
