Compiler-rt does support Windows just fine, even if outdated docs pages didn't list it as one of the supported OSes, this is being rectified in https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/106874.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