So your linker errors show that you're using lld anyway. I'm on 
my Linux laptop at a Starbucks atm, but I'm pretty sure that the 
Windows distribution does not ship with any system libraries that 
are compatible with lld. It only ships with a small set of OMF 
link libraries that Walter got permission to distribute a couple 
decades ago and that only work with the DM linker. So anything 
that relies on the Windows APIs is not going to build without 
something to link to.

You'll probably have no choice but to install the build tools.
