That wacky language runtime is still needed to bootstrap Java compilers
without relying on binaries. This is especially important for musl
(because except for Oracle's semi-proprietary portola, there is no
binary for musl at all) and for other architectures (OpenJDK is, as far
as I'm aware, not a cross-compiler, so arches like mips or ppc64 would
be screwed).
