Yeah, there should not be a reason anymore, if I am correct, to not

that a try also , and if it works, then we can close out (#8598

get rid of the 4.5 downgrade needed).... but that does need more
testing from the core Rust team and others.
It's something that Brian has been counting on me to help make happen,
and Alex is also contributing to some of that effort by fixing various
LLVM build issues that affect Windows Rust users as you mention in
(#8598 <https://github.com/mozilla/rust/issues/8598>).
Agreed, if a new stage0 compiler snapshot can be created, then we
should be in the clear to also close out #5878
<https://github.com/mozilla/rust/issues/5878>.
Thanks for everybody's amazing contributions to our Windows support. If
somebody makes the changes necessary to work with a newer toolchain then
we will upgrade the bots. It's unlikely we can do this before 0.8
though, due in two weeks.
I gather that some folks would like to switch to the mingw-w64 toolchain
as well. Is that in the cards here?
