ARM Support for FoundationDB

@wolfspider I’m currently looking at maybe changing the depency on Mono that is requird to build the flow actor compiler and a few other tools (written in C#) to .NET Core 2.1, and I was wondering if this would help you or make it worse in your attempt at building fdb for ARM platforms.

Are you compiling the FoundationDB source on a x86/x64 host, and copying the binaries other to an ARM machine? Or are you building everything from the ARM host itself?

Do you think that having to install the .NET Core SDK on your development machine would be easy? compared to Mono?

If you have some time to spare, could you tell me if running this simple tutorial on your dev host is very easy to do, or if you had to spend more than 10 minutes fiddling with things before running the hello world program?

You can select the linux distribution in the dropdown, if you are not running ubuntu

Thanks!
