**1.**
No, it doesn't work. As already stated in the [JDK-8262276](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8262276), the build fails for me with the exactly same error also when I set:
COMPILE_WEBKIT = true
CONF = Release
 
in `gradle.properties`.

**2.** 
ATM I am using these libraries:

- Javafx (`pull/417`)
- Java 15 (installed on Windows)
- Ant 1.10.5 (installed on Windows)
- **CMake 3.13.3** (installed on Windows)
- Visual Studio 2017 community edition (**Ninja 1.8.2**)
- **Gradlew 6.3**
- CygWin (installed on Windows) with the following packages:
  - bison 3.0.4-1
  - flex 2.6.4-2
  - gcc-g++ 10.2.0-1
  - git 2.30.0-1
  - gperf 3.1-1
  - make 4.3-1
  - makedepend 1.0.6-1
  - openssh 8.4p1-2
  - perl 5.32.1-1
  - python27 2.7.18-4
  - ruby 2.6.4-1
  - unzip 6.0-17
  - zip 3.0-12
  
But I am seeing exactly the same error.

**3.**
No - I've tried it only with Windows as we need debug symbols there... 

Side note: 

Could you guys please provide me with the versions of the above libraries that are used in the case of your CI build system?  Is now Visual Studio the only difference? I tried to check it by myself by going through the log files at https://github.com/arun-Joseph/jfx/runs/2028653928 but I couldn't found CygWin plugin versions (bison, flex...).

Tomorrow I will try building it using Visual Studio 2019.
