We removed JVM_SetProtectionDomain from jdk9 hotspot.  Although I don't 
think anything called it, I remember there was some sort of link time 
error.  In a couple of weeks, other now unused JVM entries will also be 
removed, that may have been used in jdk7 and 8.  These changes will give 
you an error.   The MethodHandle incompatibilities might not though.
