Yes it is. I am currently able to cross compile ffmpeg and x264-with-LSW 
https://github.com/VFR-maniac/L-SMASH-Works with ffmpeg --enable-avresample, 
using a variation of the ffmpeg/x264 build script (edited to add in lsw)
at https://github.com/DeadSix27/python_cross_compile_script 
however the author (Deadsix27) prefers not to permanently add in lsw support 
on the basis that avresample in ffmpeg is deprecated.
A github issue was raised with the author of L-SMASH-Works early this year
however nothing public has been visible as yet and it seems the author may
have other ongoing priorities.

OK, thank you for that info. 
I'm tempted to have a bit of a look and if easy enough, consider trying
to resurrect 40 yo coding skills 😊 in a fork.  Or, not.

Yes, my home video workflow was recently updated to use just ffmpeg 
instead. As you say, I suppose I could stick with that, although it's handy to 
have an enhanced x264 as well (built with libav* lsmash).
