Yes, no problem.

In the CI I cannot use neither KVM nor QEMU user mode via binfmt, so I
have to use a virtual machine. Unless I manage to use QEMU user mode
without passing by binfmt, which I haven't yet investigated.

I enabled riscv64, which is currently failing:

  https://gitlab.com/giomasce/tinycc/-/jobs/383517514#L1099

I have no time to investigate this now. BTW, riscv64 is even more hacky
than other architectures due to some bugs and very in-development
things. In particular, currently the clock is wrong and there are a lot
of messages complaining about the past happening in the future, but I
hope they are harmless.

Thanks everybody for suggestions with Windows. I will do some more
experiments when I have some time.

Giovanni.
