AFAIK no. It only uses standard windows dlls.

That should work. However, we only have very basic MinGW support in
GDC. I don't think it can compile a working ddmd but we'll have to make
it work for the windows->arm cross compilers anyway.

I used one VM and that was already kinda annoying. Docker is really
useful for such build-tasks. (easy to use((not need to setup ssh etc)
reproducible, redistributable, fast & parallelizable)
