What about Gcc under the WSL thing (ie Linux emulation in Windows).
Much better than Cygwin type stuff.

Subject: Compiler for Windows
Hi,
We need to gather inputs about the pros/cons of the C compilers
available for Windows.
Interesting criterias could be:
- ease of use
- availability
- standards compliance
- performance
When the comparison will be complete, we should publish it
in the doc/ directory, while porting DPDK to Windows.
I start with few data:
* gcc|clang on cygwin
- not native
* gcc/mingw
* gcc/mingw-w64
* clang/mingw-w64
* clang --target=x86_64-windows-msvc
* icc
- not freely available
* msvc
- native
- specific command line
- not C99
