Dear Jenkins developers, as part of Linaro Windows on Arm team [1], we are 
helping various project to support natively windows-arm64 platform. Jenkins 
has been of the project requested by our customers.

After an investigation, I identified two native libraries (dll) contained 
inside jenkins .war file:
- jansi (used by groovy shell)
- winp

It seems like the absence of native JANSI library is not a problem, but for 
winp, I'm not sure what we are missing by not being able to load this DLL 
(less control on processes launched?).

After looking more closely at winp repository, it seems like arm support is 
not a priority [2]. This opened PR [3] didn't seem to get a lot of traction.

So, if there is someone here familiar with winp component of Jenkins, what 
could we do to help support windows-arm64?

Thanks, Pierrick
