Standalone compilation is broken for JDK21 during autogen phase with DYNAMIC_COMPILE=true

Error summary:

Failure when attempting to run local testing via command-line, fails to find the compile target:

Error: cannot find the following tests: compile (note: group target such as sanity is not accepted inside testList)

This was reported against a case where BUILD_LIST=functional, but has been reproduced with BUILD_LIST=openjdk also.

USE_TESTENV_PROPERTIES=true
BUILD_LIST=functional
JDK_VERSION=21
DYNAMIC_COMPILE=true
TARGET=sanity.functional
JDK_IMPL=hotspot

were the settings this was first reported on.

Appears related to DYNAMIC_COMPILE=true setting.

When switching DYNAMIC_COMPILE=false and running from the v0.9.9-release branch to compile OPENJ9_BRANCH=v0.41.0-release functional test material, there is a separate compilation failure (issue raised here:
eclipse-openj9/openj9#18620).

I've tried aqa-tests master with Microsoft jdk21 https://aka.ms/download-jdk/microsoft-jdk-21.0.1-macOS-aarch64.tar.gz locally. Can't reproduce it with DYNAMIC_COMPILE=none.

Closing as will not address in the v0.9.9-release branch.
