With an instrumented version of imageFile.o (via -fsanitize=undefined) a signed integer overflow is revealed which is undefined behaviour.

$ bin/java -version
/disk/openjdk/upstream-sources/openjdk-hs/src/java.base/share/native/libjimage/imageFile.cpp:64:22: runtime error: signed integer overflow: 16777619 * 16777619 cannot be represented in type 'int'
/disk/openjdk/upstream-sources/openjdk-hs/src/java.base/share/native/libjimage/imageFile.cpp:64:22: runtime error: signed integer overflow: 16777620 * 16777619 cannot be represented in type 'int'

This caused a build failure of the images target with GCC 8 (-O2) where the interim image was broken like this:

./build/linux-x86_64-normal-server-fastdebug/support/interim-image/bin/java -version
Error occurred during initialization of VM
