<p>okay so... can someone who&#39;s good at cross-compiling explain to me which part of mingw does llvm-mingw[1] even use?<br />it uses:<br />- ucrt<br />- clang + llvm binutils<br />- pdb<br />- libcxx/libcxxabi/llvm libunwind<br />- inexplicably, itanium abi? (how does that even work??)</p><p>so what&#39;s left of mingw? headers and stub libraries? but... it still needs ucrt? i&#39;m so confused</p>
