Flag missing with "requires java.base"?

[Alex Buckley]

I already explained that ACC_SYNTHETIC and ACC_MANDATED mean different 
things. A dependence on java.base is never ACC_SYNTHETIC because it is 
either explicitly declared (no ACC_SYNTHETIC, no ACC_MANDATED) or 
implicitly declared (no ACC_SYNTHETIC, yes ACC_MANDATED) -- there are no 
other possibilities.
