If the target runtime image does not have jrt-fs.jar then you won't be 
able to access its contents from another runtime image. It also means it 
cannot be the target for cross compilation (`javac -system ...`).

As things stand then the JDK has jrt-fs.jar and TBD (tracked as 
JDK-8153079 [1]) on whether there should be a jrt-fs.jar in all runtime 
images (as least by default).
