Thanks for everyone's reply, I'll give Cygwin another try.

I don't have much experience of Common Lisp on Windows, so
please correct me if I'm wrong or missed something.

Current status:

Clisp : can't save core with ":executable t".  Seems Maxima
on Windows uses with ":executable nil" though.

SBCL: SBCL actually runs in Cygwin, but it uses windows style
path like "c:\sbcl" and doesn't recognize Cygwin style path like
"/cygdrive/c/sbcl", which is confusing for me and unable to
compile FriCAS.

ECL: easy to compile ecl from source.  Don't know why upstream
doesn't provide binaries or why Cygwin doesn't include it.
Currently I'm building FriCAS with it, but compile time is
much longer than SBCL on msys2/mingw64.  It took me 70 minutes
on a 8 core windows VM, over 10 times longer than SBCL.

The compile process is smooth, and result binary can run
HyperDoc without problems.

======

Have not tried other lisps yet.

I didn't try to build docs or graphic example files, so I
decide to remove relevant sections in doc.
