Thank you @Liviu Ionescu,

I just downloaded an xPack from 
https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/openocd-xpack/releases
and behold, there are Windows binaries inside! I run the OpenOCD executable and 
it prints:

   $ xPack OpenOCD, 64-bit Open On-Chip Debugger 0.10.0+dev (2019-07-17-11:28)
   $ Licensed under GNU GPL v2

So I conclude this particular OpenOCD executable was built last summer.
Thank you @Liviu Ionescu :-)

I'm grateful for the xPacks you provide. I'm happy to have them discovered 
today. However,
sometimes I'm trying a new microcontroller and need the latest bleeding-edge 
OpenOCD build.
Therefore, I will try to follow your guide to build the OpenOCD xPack. I'm 
currently instal-
ling Virtual Box on my Windows 10 computer to run an Ubuntu virtual machine. I 
suppose your
instructions to build the OpenOCD xPack will run smoothly in Ubuntu?

You're welcome!

Well if you insist, you can do it, but the purpose of the xPack OpenOCD project 
is exactly to avoid users having to run any build scripts and instead use the 
provided binaries.

Not exactly, if you run it on Windows the result will be an error :-(

The windows binaries, together with all other binaries (linux, mac) are 
available from:

https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/openocd-xpack/releases

Arm binaries are available from

https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/pre-releases/releases/tag/v1.0


If you are using the arm-none-eabi-gcc, you might also be interested of

Enjoy,

Liviu
