We used to have a Windows ARM builder which was removed because it was no longer supported #38493. We should explore a new service or maintainer in order to restore the builder type.

dashboard: remove the Windows ARM builder
3e01d87 
The host-windows-arm-iotcore builder has been missing for an
extended period of time. Attempts to contact the maintainer have
failed. This removes the builder until we can find a replacement
for windows-arm instances.

Fixes golang/go#38493
For golang/go#38607

Referencing #36439 as the main issue for the Windows ARM port.

Most of you should have received a private correspondance from me with disk images and instructions so that it's easy to launch a Windows 10 ARM64 builder on EC2/GCP from any x86 machine using qemu. If you didn't receive that from me, and you're on the Google team configuring the new builder, please pipe up.

@zx2c4 Thank you for the disk images. We will update the corresponding issues as soon as we begin working on them.

I have physical ARM hardware running Windows that I would be happy to add as a builder to Go's pool.

@alexbrainman @zx2c4 While there isn't a license that permits us to run Windows arm in a virtualized environment, i'm not sure if there is any reason why contributors would not be allowed to provide builders on machines that are licensed to run this version of Windows. The previous arm builders we had were provided by Microsoft. I'm going to investigate and respond on this issue once I have an answer.

Fair enough.

i'm not sure if there is any reason why contributors would not be allowed to provide builders on machines that are licensed to run this version of Windows.

I don't have windows arm or arm64 machine (and I never used / seen before). Let's see what @zx2c4 have. Maybe he is willing to run it as a builder.

As I've mentioned repeatedly, I have physical baremetal non virtualized arm64 hardware that I bought for the explicit purpose of jump starting windows/arm64 development.

@zx2c4 Please feel free to add a builder as per https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/DashboardBuilders

Once we do have builders for this, we should make sure they have mingw-llvm installed and that its GCC compatibility wrapper is in PATH (see the comments on CL 271178).

System already configured that way :) Everything is all set, just waiting on the Go mailing list now.

Has a gcc for each environment, depending on which one you need.

So, specifically for here, here's the situation for the ARM builder:

Jason, we've spoken over email about why there were delays. I am sorry if you found our messaging to be unclear. I would like to remind you to read over the values and code of conduct, which are available here: https://golang.org/conduct#values. Please try to be charitable in understanding that we're doing what we can.

Don't worry, I've always assumed that your responses have been in good faith; there's no presumption of malice.

Anyway, following the go-ahead from @cagedmantis, I've spent the last two days getting the new build server perfected and clean for this purpose, and am just waiting on the key to add it to the pool:

Brand new clean windows install with all the native arm tools are ready to go.

I've responded via email with the host and private builder key.

This partially reverts CL 229559, while adjusting it to use a new
builder. The builder will be used now for windows/arm and later for
windows/arm64.

Updates golang/go#42604.
Updates golang/go#38607.
Updates golang/go#36439.
