Description
There is a Zero-specific test block in compiler/startup/NumCompilerThreadsCheck.java, which currently fails:

$ CONF=linux-x86_64-zero-fastdebug make exploded-test TEST=compiler/startup/NumCompilerThreadsCheck.java
...

STDERR:
 stdout: [];
 stderr: [intx CICompilerCount=-1 is outside the allowed range [ 0 ... 2147483647 ]
Improperly specified VM option 'CICompilerCount=-1'
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
]
 exitValue = 1

java.lang.RuntimeException: 'must be at least 0' missing from stdout/stderr

I believe it was rendered obsolete by JDK-8122937.
