Thanks for the hints! I'll try that. I played around last week with make -d
--print-data-base but got lost in the information.

Last week I burned some time on this problem without much success. I got
stuck understanding the rule in Images.gmk:

$(JRE_IMAGE_DIR)/$(JIMAGE_TARGET_FILE): $(JMODS) \
    $(call DependOnVariable, JRE_MODULES_LIST) $(BASE_RELEASE_FILE)
$(ECHO) Creating jre jimage
$(RM) -r $(JRE_IMAGE_DIR)
   $(JLINK_JRE_EXTRA_OPTS) \
$(JLINK_TOOL) --add-modules $(JRE_MODULES_LIST) \
   --output $(JRE_IMAGE_DIR)
$(TOUCH) $@

and its brethren.

It seems this rule just does not get executed for jre-image. So, trying to
understand this (I am no makefile expert):

$(JRE_IMAGE_DIR)/$(JIMAGE_TARGET_FILE) is one file from the target dir, in
this case jre/java, whose non-existence or out-of-dateness triggers the rule

Dependencies:
 - $(JMODS) is <outputdir>/jmods, which gets built and does exist
 - $(call DependOnVariable, JRE_MODULES_LIST) $(BASE_RELEASE_FILE) I have
trouble understanding this. $(BASE_RELEASE_FILE) is a text file which, if
it exists and it contains the value of $JRE_MODULES_LIST, will result false
(not out of date), otherwise it will update the file with the value of
$JRE_MODULES_LIST and return true, triggering the target, yes? If I got
this right, why do we use the same output file for all targets (jre, jdk)
etc?
