Well yeah, for all tense and purposes it's basically a desktop linux environment with a smooshed up screen, But if you're going to implement libhandy integration, because of various bugs...

needs to include `mingw_arch=('mingw32' 'mingw64' 'ucrt64' 'clang64')` under any so it basically looks like ``` arch=('any') mingw_arch=('mingw32' 'mingw64' 'ucrt64' 'clang64') ```

It would lessen the burden of rebuilds of sdl_mixer I suppose against the other libraries if one or more gets updated and something changes. But I'll refer to the others...

I would reckon that cygwin would need to be changed to support lld in this case I guess and that's not an easy task I would imagine.

The downside is that webengine isn't buildable on mingw-w64 currently, csWebKit at least is buildable on every supported compiler currently.
