There is work further down the line to figure out a story for static builds + AOT as the ultimate goal is to run jlink and produce a single executable so there wouldn't be a separate AOT cache/archive on the file system. It's much further down the road, not clear that it's worth trying to test intermediate tests with -Xshare:auto at this time.

Thanks. I agree with keeping the test. That's also related to @AlanBateman comments on if the test needs to be skipped for static JDK.
