Only if you take a narrow or literal view of what MinGW-w64 is. I guess the name dates back to when the only open source toolchain worth using was GCC. Good technology is worth playing with; LLVM fits into that category and Clang is getting there on Windows too. For me MinGW-w64 is about being able to compile and run as much open source software on Windows as possible, preferably avoiding closed source at every turn. IMHO the only bad toolchain is a closed source toolchain - like the one you built Clang with ;-) On Tue, Jan 14, 2014 at 6:23 PM, Baruch Burstein <bmburst...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Tue, Jan 14, 2014 at 3:46 PM, Ruben Van Boxem <vanboxem.ru...@gmail.com> > wrote: >> >> 2014/1/14 Baruch Burstein <bmburst...@gmail.com> >>> >>> I am trying to use the Win64 toolchain.
