Building GCC requires a POSIX-compliant shell. Both Cygwin and MSYS2 are
an option. I am not clear about WSL; I haven't heard of anybody who ever
had built GCC in it. Windows does not have such a shell, so you can't
build GCC on Windows without them.

`pacman -S gcc` would install the GCC that runs on the MSYS2 CRT which
should not be considered 'native'. The package name of native GCC for
x64 is `mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc` and the one for x86 is
`mingw-w64-i686-gcc`. Personally I recommend use MSYS2 as it has a nice
package management system which provides other native tools too (such as
GDB and Python).
