The static library support was added in JDK 8 under JEP 178 (https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/178 <https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/178>)
and integrated under https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8046168 <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8046168>.

The macros that were added to jni_util.h are not part of the specification and were added
for the JDK build to use.   There are two forms of the macros.  DEF_JNI_OnLoad is used when
the onload function runs initialization logic and DEF_STATIC_JNI_OnLoad that adds
an empty function only when building the library statically.  Both macros append the library
name when building static forms of each library.

All JDK native libraries should have this support but I supposed it’s possible that new libraries have
been added since JDK 8 that are missing the DEF_STATIC_JNI_OnLoad.  I did a quick scan
of the sources when implementing this fix and did not see any bare JNI_OnLoad functions.
