I don't think so. I think they mean they support Win32 fully for
ordinary compilation, but not cross-compilation, ie. you can't target
Win32 from a Linux LLVM build.

Alternately, they also use "native" to identify the native code
generators as opposed to the C backend, so perhaps that's what they
mean, ie. they support native code generation on Windows.

After a bit of searching [1], I haven't anything suggesting JIT on
Windows wouldn't work. The code generators are the same after all.
