### Building toolchain on Windows
200+
201+
To build toolchain for Windows hosts it is recommended to do a "canadian
202+
cross-compilation" on Linux, that is toolchain for ARC targets that runs on
203+
Windows hosts is built on Linux host. Build scripts expect to be run in
204+
Unix-like environment, so it is often faster and easier to build toolchain on
205+
Linux, that on Windows natively. While environments like Cygwin and Msys allow
206+
toolchain to be built on Windows natively this way is not officially supported
207+
and not recommended by Synopsys. Further instructions for building toolchain
208+
for Windows hosts can be found at [Windows-specific page]
209+
(windows-installer/README.md#notes-cross-compiling-for-windows).
