`rb-sys` supports both msvc and the gnu toolchains on windows (at least on github actions). you may need to explicitly set the toolchain if you want to use gnu? I'm...

Can you try `CARGO_TARGET_X86_64_PC_WINDOWS_GNU_LINKER=gcc bundle exec rake compile`? PS: Thanks for bearing with me here, the only way I have to test windows currently is through CI so your help...
