Following up on this, we now have the following updates:

  1. Thanks to @SquallATF, we have a much simpler patch to fix the ucsim 
build:
     
https://github.com/jhol/MINGW-packages/blob/dce05ef1eb27edff31b005482b94645eca87d4e6/mingw-w64-sdcc/0001-Resolved-conflict-between-define-B-and-system-header.patch

  2. Thanks to @SquallATF, we added clang64 build support. We just have 
to specify acx_cv_cc_gcc_supports_ada=no to the configure script, 
because on clang, checking for a working Ada compiler takes a long time 
and ultimately fails.

  3. We can't yet add support for clangarm64 (aarch64-w64-mingw32) 
because support/sdbinutils/bfd/config.bfd doesn't yet support it. 
Support for this was added in this binutils commit: 
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commitdiff;h=16fea92ccd99, 
released in v2.41. Are there any plans to update support/sdbinutils/bfd/ 
any time soon?

Thanks
