CJIT for Windows on ARM64

[lacroiro]

Are you going to release a native release of CJIT for Windows on ARM64?

If not, how can I build/target an executable for Windows on ARM64 from a Windows on Intel platform?

It is what I wish, also for Android ARM64 and I've done some poking at this idea already.

But there is a problem in the way lib/tinycc is built: it needs to compile itself (and also the c2str program) and run it on the host machine. This makes cross-compilation tricky and I haven't yet found a way to get around that, not even sure it is supported by tinycc itself or if someone has solved it already for the library.

If this cross-compilation issue is solved then I will certainly setup release targets here to produce Win-Arm64 and Android-Arm64.

Please note that in the meantime you can already produce a Win-Arm64 cjit.exe without cross-compilation, but you need to setup the build environment on Windows correctly, which is also puzzling me: the one github provides works like a charm, but I could not reproduce it locally.

Please also note that now CJIT is self-hosting so once we get around the problem of compiling one that works for each platform, building new updates on that platform will be easier because it will not require a big toolchain just CJIT itself.
