Hi
What does llvm-mingw mean exactly? FWIW, there is a mingw-llvm package.
Thanks

It is a complete, cross-compiling, Windows PE building toolchain[1][2] that uses
llvm instead of gcc. The 'mingw-llvm' package is the llvm backend in PE form and not
the complete toolchain.
The main llvm package should be capable of this already, as it's a
retargetable compiler. The clang package provides a clang program
that's capable of this.
This makes me wonder, is mingw-llvm actually useful? I took interest
into it way back when I thought it was necessary to get mingw-rust
building, but this turned out not to be the case (resp mingw targets are
now built directly in the main rust package). So any point in keeping
mingw-llvm around?
