Each architecture needs its own bridge to be developed, to support low-level interoperability between UNO programming languages, such as calling C++ methods from Java, converting Java exceptions to C++, etc. This is extremely difficult, requiring not only assembly language, but even machine code in some cases. While we do have support for the 32 bit ARM ABI in our gcc3_freebsd_arm and gcc3_linux_arm bridges, the Aarch64 architecture requires a new bridge to be developed. Wikipedia claims Aarch64 is compatible with 32 bit ARM, so maybe you could run the 32 bit ARM build of OpenOffice instead?
