The main value is not adding complexity in your learning setup. As value points you can show examples how to cross-compile from Windows to Linux.
Of course, as Jonathan mentioned compiling with C is bit annoying. If you just need to use CGO, then TDM-GCC does a decent job. If you need to link to existing libraries then you need MSYS2. Which, has a bit more complicated setup.
