No, I didn't see this. Yes, this seems a reasonable request.

Hi everyone,
Currently OpenJFX's build script asserts the CPU architecture and
does not allow building on unknown architectures.
But in fact OpenJFX is cross-platform, it can actually be built
and run on almost all architectures.
The only hurdle was the asserts in the build scripts, and John
made it compile on the s390x and ppc64el platforms with a simple
patch[1].
I'm working on some niche architectures (such as MIPS64el and
RISC-V) and I need to compile OpenJFX for them.
I understand the need to warn users that there may be unknown
issues building on these architectures,
and I don't have time to do regular testing to ensure that OpenJFX
works on these architectures.
But I wish it was simpler to build OpenJFX on these architectures.
So can we add a gradle property to have the build script skip the
assertion on the architecture,
thus allowing us to build OpenJFX on unknown architectures without
modifying any files?
