is it possible to then simply target the MinGW triple? Are there 
any disadvantages coming from it?

I would like to try making a small D script for LLDB so it can 
parse all the types and hopefully make a good debug experience on 
all platforms consistently, because LLDB implements DWARF debug 
symbols on all platforms.
