My use case is cross-compiling for some embedded architectures that may 
not have the full toolchain available on the target itself. I could 
perhaps still cross-compile, but on an x86 Linux host instead of Windows, 
but this seems to add needless complexity to my build setup. In general 
our build process can build most of our platforms from Windows and it 
makes things a bit simpler.
