My WSL results are generally on an older box which is better able to run WSL than the newer one, however it requires running external memory recovery more frequently than cygwin does, and lately has been dying frequently anyway in gfortran testsuite. I haven't seen a feasible way to install WSL other than with the Ubuntu. Gcc attempts (unsuccessfully) to build and test cilkplus on WSL. On cygwin, there are major unsupported facilities (e.g. gstabs) which produce hundreds of failures. Although those 2 examples might eventually be removed as being unworthy of support, it may be considered that neither target is sufficiently popular with developers to see support on the level of linux.
