Setting --classpath won't override the boot class path.
Also, if the boot class path is not set properly, and a class isn't compiled
in, having it on --classpath will cause it to be loaded by the wrong
class loader (system, not bootstrap), which may cause issues.

We do support overriding some built-in classes via endorsed dirs.
But overall I think you're better off with the --whole-archive plan
for gij.
