I would prefer to create the toolchains in an environment that is easily
integrated with Windows. The method that is the least volatile is also the most
attractive. I was using a laptop with Windows 11, however, it does continue to
freeze during compilation in WSL2. It's running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. This time
it's been sitting at GDB for approximately 2 days. I've acquired a desktop PC
and put a fresh installation of Windows 11 on it with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS in WSL2
and am going to try building RTEMS 6 toolchain on there. Hopefully it’s the
difference in hardware.

Hello Chris,
I used MSYS2, not all the tools can be compiled in MSYS2. MSYS2 has a
pre-built dtc package, so you do not need to compile it. And
ged,texinfo,gdb,rtems-tools can not build success in my MSYS2, but these tools
are not essential for compiling RTEMS6. I just compile expat,gmp, binutils,gcc.
I built last week, these tools should be OK.
BTW: build on windows will take a long times.
