Include arm and arm64 builds of GN in depot_tools |
|||||
Issue descriptionSince we can cross compile both arm and arm64, it would be nice if those binaries were included in a checkout of depot_tools. It's a bit of a pain to have to cross compile gn, ship it to the arm box, and then begin the process of building chromium and other projects.

I've wanted to build Skia (which uses GN) on ARM hosts such that we can fuzz them. Cross-compiling the fuzz instrumentation has yielded no fruit, so I've settled for on-host compiling. I've cross compiled GN for this effect, but it would be nice if it was just included.

Actually running GN on an ARM host isn't something we really any other need for, and we don't tend to have any hosts running it, so there aren't any official builds. We don't actually include any GN binaries in depot_tools anyway; the gn.py wrapper just points back at files pulled in via DEPS (and buildtools).

The issue seems to be out of TE-scope. Hence, adding TE-NeedsTriageHelp for further investigation. Thanks...!!

Do we really need an ARM (32-bit) binary? We don't support building chromium on 32-bit hosts any more, and AFAIK we don't distribute 32-bit ninja binaries anywhere, either, at this point.
