My comment was about the OpenJDK aarch32 builds.  From your original post,
I have the impression that the OpenJDK aarch32 builds don't set this property.
If it could be added for the OpenJDK aarch32 builds, this would be very useful
for my application.

I understand that this is not needed for aarch64 builds.
