I would also love to have gcc as part of the base Windows image. I was installing mingw through chocolatey as you’ve mentioned above, but that stopped working once I added secret environment variables due to [Choco install hangs forever](https://travis-ci.community/t/choco-install-hangs-forever/307/13).

Thanks for adding Windows support, hope this can be resolved soon!
