It depends on what would such support require.  Judging by what I see
in the original report, we are very far from understanding that, so I
would withhold my judgment until I see what changes to the existing
code are needed to support that configuration.  I have no real
knowledge of how Clang supports native MS-Windows; I don't even know
what they use for the runtime library.  So I cannot envision up front
what kind of changes will be needed to produce a successful native
MS-Windows build of Emacs using Clang.
