I am not windows user (or interested by this space) but I am forced to build
for it and I prefer still staying away from that OS as much as possible.

The package is a a bit of a monster though, both in complexity as well
as build-time.
Any tips for hacking around?

Ill try to look at 'build-wasm/compiler-rt-%'.

I am meant to use STAGE2 binaries? Are those the final ones?

Given that clang is a native crosscompiler, I guess it makes sense providing
the mingw builtins as "all" package like libclang-rt-18-dev-wasm32?

Ill see if I  find time for that next week.
