Hi, the functionality provided by javah has been folded into javac in
recent JDKs.

These days you can make one call to "javac -h" instead of having to
call both "javac" and "javah"

I ported quite a few packages this way when Fedora made the switch to
Java 11 by default. If you like I can probably take a look libguestfs
and send you a PR?
