Compiler-rt does support Windows just fine, even if outdated docs pages didn't 
list it as one of the supported OSes, this is being rectified in 
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/106874.

MinGW is another environment configuration on Windows, where compiler-rt or 
libgcc is linked in automatically, so there's no issue with having such 
builtins functions available.

For MSVC style environments, compiler-rt builtins do work just fine, but Clang 
doesn't automatically link them in. See e.g. 
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/improve-autolinking-of-compiler-rt-and-libc-on-windows-with-lld-link/71392
 for a discussion on how to improve this situation. But none of that issue is 
that compiler-rt itself wouldn't support Windows.
