--- Comment #14 from Lubos Kocman
I never understood the need for a mingw compiler to build WSL - can't the "install" component be written in sth like Powershell?
Indeed GCC doesn't support aarch64-*-mingw*, adding support for that is welcome. Guess at ARM you should have the resources to push this.
Using clang to build packages is not exactly welcome since clang isn't a supported part of our infrastructure so it's not wise to rely on it.
I did spend some time on writing the PowerShell alternative to the WSL-Distro_Launcher but that's not possible at this moment as Microsoft only ships x86 version of PowerShell, which does not have access to neither wslapi.dll (used in Add-Type) nor wsl.exe for any sort of wrappers due to the nature of x86 emulation in Windows. I did open request (referenced in the link bellow) to ship powershell for arm on Windows for ARM (as you can find powershell core on gitlab) however the request was rejected with recommendation from Microsoft to take the llvm path.
