Consolidate cross/build-rootfs.sh into 1 place about arcade HOT 10 CLOSED

Unifying them would also enable me to have a single crossfs and not a separate one for corefx, coreclr and core-setup.

It'd be good to be opportunistic here. (not blocking though)

@eerhardt core-rt and source-build also use the cross folder. Just to no notice.
Is this up for grabs?

@janvorli About the cross folder.

I'm new to arcade, but I supose that what you need is a Task (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.build.utilities.task?view=netframework-4.7.2) that implements all the things from the cross folder, I'm right?

from arcade.

Don't know anything about this script but given that corefx, coreclr, core-setup and most likely aspnet are/will consuming this, I think this is a good candidate for eng/common. We could create a cross folder and copy a version there. Don't know if at this point all repos have the same version or what would determine which is to be moved but we would end up with something like eng/common/cross/build-rootfs.sh.

@weshaggard thoughts?

from arcade.

Yes I agree we should try and share this script under eng\common.

from arcade.

What repo should we use to get the file from?

from arcade.

I'm not sure but I think coreclr

from arcade.

Yes, coreclr is the right source. But it is not just the build-rootfs.sh. We need to share the whole cross folder contents except of the tryrun.cmake which is repo specific.
