If you don't need to use Microsoft back end stuff, I've had good luck 
with using mingw-64 headers and libraries with clang/LLVM to compile for 
Windows. I've even used it to compile itself for Windows. clang/LLVM, 
binutils, and gdb all build just fine. A side benefit is that you can 
also compile for various Linux targets using the same tool chain on 
Windows. Binary downloads for both 32 and 64 bit Windows systems and 
various Linux hosts are available from 
http://ellcc.org/blog/?page_id=20295 The downloads include pre-built 
libraries for all the target systems.
