What I meant was that I had to run the modularized compile after having 
already built the whole JDK. You can view this as a rather ineffective 
bootstrap. The difference to the current jigsaw build is that I'm 
running the build-infra build to first compile the JDK and that instead 
of using the class analyzer and reshuffling the classes, I instead 
recompile all classes from a modularized source tree.
