The reason for this is that modules.config contains:

module base {
//...
     include sun.misc.*;
     exclude sun.misc.FIFOQueueEnumerator,
             sun.misc.LIFOQueueEnumerator,
             sun.misc.GC,
//...
}

but the libjava.so library is part of jdk.base; and it includes 
sun/misc/GC.c (which is the file that, naturally, includes 
sun_misc_GC.h). This creates a discrepancy between Java and native code 
contained in the module. My gut feeling is that sun.misc.GC should not 
be excluded from jdk.base.
