- What should mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc-libs-devel package contain?
The C/C++ runtime libraries and headers, do not contains the gcc compiler(they are redundant to clang)
- Is there any reason not to use the clang64 or clang32 environment?
mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc have more broader usage currently, also clang64 vs mingw-w64-x86_64 mainly is CRT differencies not the compiler differences(gcc not work with is bacause gcc doesn't support that),
gcc not work with is bacause gcc doesn't support that
GCC works fine in the (now recommended/default) UCRT64 environment.
I guess this makes sense, but not sure if it's worth the added complexity.
