Build script updates for syncing engine sources and building artifacts on linux-arm64#186917
Conversation
…s on linux-arm64 flutter#182552 added support in the Flutter tools for using a version of gen_snapshot that runs on linux-arm64 hosts and targets Android devices. However, the engine build infrastructure is not currently set up to build this kind of gen_snapshot binary. This PR contains changes needed to build engine artifacts on linux-arm64 machines. With this PR a linux-arm64 build environment can: * run "gclient sync" * build targets like zip_archives/android-arm64-profile/linux-arm64.zip that were added in flutter#182552

Code Review
This pull request updates the Android build configuration to support arm64 Linux hosts by including arm64 in the clang toolchain selection and dynamically setting the host directory path based on the host CPU. A review comment suggests updating an existing code comment to accurately reflect these changes and maintain readability.

The comment on line 569 should be updated to include arm64 (e.g., # Use clang for the x86/64/arm64 Linux host builds.) to accurately reflect the logic change that now includes ARM64 hosts. This improves readability and ensures the documentation matches the implementation.

Changed this to use Clang to build Android target artifacts on all Linux build environments.
