      As part of the falloout from JDK-8016701 where a new call to a JDK8 function was added, several people have asked if these libraries can be put into the build process following the langtools/hotspot/jdk builds, and built using the new binaries?

      For example:

      > definitely needs the boot JDK. Not sure about hotspot.) We should change

      > platform features.
