What about Gcc under the WSL thing (ie Linux emulation in Windows).
Much better than Cygwin type stuff.
  

WSL is dog-slow with any kind of disk I/O, at least currently, so while 
i do use WSL to fool my IDE into thinking it's running on Linux, the 
actual compilation user experience is horrible.

The newest version uses Hyper-V to run Linux kernel in VM and is better.
Probably all still has issues with translation to NTFS.
