It is currently busy building the 5/rtems-sparc build set (without

useful/supported?
Yes, we have valid users. Plus building on Windows is valid for the
same reasons we build from source on all hosts maybe more so.
If I install msys/mingw I get an msys, mingw32 and mingw64 shell.
They are all somewhat different. Are all of them supposed to be
supported?
They are different in a subtle way, they set different paths so you
get a different set of native executables and DLLs in your path. Run:
`set | grep ^PATH`
in each instance and compare. On top of that the mingw native tools
are specifically named, something I completely agree with.
MSYS2 is well thought out, the pacmac tools is great. Like cygwin a
rolling release makes baselining for deployment or a product hard.
Yes, but should RTEMS build on all three shells? Which one is recommended?
