Yeah, this would be helpful. I'm pretty sure we've had requests for
checking other dependencies (like missing packages, etc). Failing fast
with an explicit error message is almost always better than wasting time
tracking down strange build failures.

I heard similar reports from developers trying to build with gcc 4.x.
We might benefit from an assert early in the build.

The current toolchain for building JavaFX is gcc 8.2. As long as you
don't build WebKit, it will still build with gcc 5.4.
I just tried it on an Oracle Linux 7 machine with gcc 4.9.1 (which is
what we used to use a couple years ago), and the build fails for
me with
the same error. Looks like you will need a newer gcc.
