I've considered this. It seems, though, that FindModuleSrcDirs comes
from make/common/Modules.gmk which isn't included in
make/gensrc/Gensrc-jdk.jlink.gmk. Given that it has already caused
problems with multiple includes of Modules.gmk (JDK-8213736) I was
reluctant to include it here too. Without the new include the above
won't work.
The approach I've taken here seems to be the lesser evil. Thoughts?
Thanks,
