I initially added `--with-static-java` to explicitly build static libraries that could be handled as system provided instead of bundled by default. I haven't removed it as I was still considering (in background) if it would be needed. We can always add a new flag when we identify the usages.

This is related to the libraries setup by `autoconf/lib-bundled.m4`. I think `libharfbuzz` is default to system at some point of time. The library is not built from the source included in the JDK if system provided is used. For static support, we want to produce all libs in `static-libs` as we don't know if the users require the lib or not. It then has the same complexity as the "optional" static library (e.g. `libjsig.a`) that we recently discussed.
