jlink does supports cross targeting, meaning you can run jlink on say 
macOS and create run-time for say windows-x64. There is limited testing 
of the combinations so please report any issues that you run into.

One other thing is that the jlink plugins that do code generation at 
link time do not consistently check the version of the target platform. 
This is something that needs to be fixed. In the mean time, you need to 
make sure that the the packaged modules are the same version as jlink, 
e.g. you can't run jlink on a JDK 10 build to create a 9.0.1 run-time 
image and vice versa.
