The `Hostarm64` directory is not created in x64 machines. So if we run the devkit script on an aarch64 machine, we can create a devkit that will work on both x64 and aarch64? But if we run it on x64, the devkit that we create will only work on x64? Have I got this right? If so, I think the script should support this, and make it clear what it does. That is, if you run it on aarch64, you get a multi-platform devkit, but on x64 you get a x64-only devkit. I think the devkit script should mention this, ideally in an `echo` statement, but a comment in the source code is acceptable. Like: `You are generating a devkit for x64 only. To include aarch64 as well, run the script on windows/aarch64` and `Generating devkit for x64 and aarch64`, respectively. Or something like that. ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/25259#discussion_r2157119798
