I tried a few days ago - but could not even get configure to work. It
kept complaining about missing mpfr, gmp, mpc even though these were
installed. I was using msys2 as the environment with mingw64
compilers. In the end decided life is too short and I have many other
things I need to do.

Does gcc even compile on Windows without patches from mingw project?

It is a pity as LLVM code generated on Windows has a serious
deficiency - longjmp calls cause crash as the generated code doesn't
conform to Windows requirements. I was hoping that gcc generated code
would not suffer from this.
