Trying to build a "static build" doesn't work.

One problem is that MAPFILE is not defined, leading to various strange errors. This might be something that was missed as part of JDK-8200178.

Another problem appears to be associated with having a long pathname to the root of the repository. This seems to result in some commands exceeding some command line argument limit. For example,

* For target hotspot_variant-server_libjvm_objs_BUILD_LIBJVM_link:
/bin/bash: /long/path/to/usr/bin/ar: Argument list too long
