You may be able to force it to compile using GCC. There was a proposed
patch to allow MinGW support, and with a quick look, I noticed some
checks for MinGW in the v8 source.
I'm not sure how to use it (not knowing scons so well), but perhaps
something like:
scons toolchain:gcc
This is based on the following lines in the SConstruct file:
SIMPLE_OPTIONS = {
'toolchain': {
'values': ['gcc', 'msvc'],
'default': TOOLCHAIN_GUESS,
'help': 'the toolchain to use'
},
