At some point I just gave up.

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble building LLDB. The LLDB website has quite an elaborate guide with instructions in how to build LLDB: https://lldb.llvm.org/resources/build.html, including specific instructions on Windows. Windows is not my main platform, but I've successfully built LLDB there in the past following those instructions. I'm not sure what you feel is "convoluted, fragile and antiquated" about our build and test setup, as it's fairly similar to the rest of LLVM. I'd be happy to hear your suggestions on how we could improve things.

I'm happy to help out. I personally don't know if we should go with (1) or (2), both sound reasonable in their own way. I'd like @teemperor, who's the author of the feature and the affected tests, to weigh in.

I don't. I think reverting your change was well within the guidelines outlined by LLVM's patch reversion policy: https://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#patch-reversion-policy

Additionally, I think you could've given me a little bit more time to catch up on the discussion here. The code review policy and practices (https://llvm.org/docs/CodeReview.html#code-reviews-speed-and-reciprocity) recommend pinging every few days to once per week depending on how urgent the patch is.

By relanding, you broke the bots again (https://green.lab.llvm.org/green/view/LLDB/job/lldb-cmake/45354/#showFailuresLink) and I'm forced to revert this change a second time. Please refrain from landing this again until we've settled on a way forward.
