[NativeAOT-LLVM] Building on Windows 11 ARM64 fails: "The command ""\tools\\ilc" @"obj\Debug\net8.0\wasi-wasm\native\ConsoleApp.ilc.rsp"" exited with code 3.

I am running on Windows 11 ARM64.

When using e.g. https://github.com/SteveSandersonMS/MinimalDotNetWasmNativeAOT and trying to compile it, I get this error:

The same works fine on a Windows 11 X64 machine.

Anything I could do about this? Thanks!

We don't have a Windows ARM64 hosted compiler yet (we only have a Windows x64 one). And apparently the x64 emulation has problems.

You could wait for us to add it, or try adding it yourself (see https://github.com/dotnet/runtimelab/blob/feature/NativeAOT-LLVM/docs/workflow/building/coreclr/nativeaot.md#building-for-web-assembly - the goal would be to have ./build clr.wasmjit+clr.aot building, working, and being published).

What do you think when it will be done by you? ;-)

CC @yowl.

I myself don't have a Windows ARM64 machine to test on. Theoretically, it should not be a lot of work (the Windows build is already set up).

I don't either unfortunately. If I was going to do it, I would likely just take my best shot, disable all the other builds in the yml and see what happens.
