+Building for Windows +--------------------
Do you mean 'on Windows'?
+Limited support is available for Windows, including building sandbox.
+It is best to use an out-of-tree build, so you can build multiple boards, +with the output in a temporary directory like `/tmp/b`.
This chapter sems not to be about building on Windows generally. Are you possibly using MinGW or MinGW-w64? How about cygwin?
The toolchain in the MSYS2 env should be MinGW-w64. cygwin is not for native Windows application build.
Please, describe the build environment accurately.
Wouldn't it be a much saner approach to use WSL? Then we don't need any of the quirks.
WSL is essentially Linux and that's not what Simon wanted to do in this series. Building sandbox under WSL is no different from what it is on a Linux machine.
