    <p>Indeed - I'm not giving up!  I installed Clang via LLVM.  Which
      of the EXE files is actually the assembler?  It's not entirely
      clear (no "clang-as", for example).  (Although I trust it works!)</p>
    <p>I've got some ideas as to how to start debugging.  I will solve
      this puzzle!<br>

              I'd give a small update.<br>

              I was distracted over the past month with work, the
              arm-linux blocking <br>
              bug and a couple of merge requests which were much easier
              to develop!  <br>
              I'm now having a solid bash at getting Windows on ARM64
              working.  It's <br>
              proving harder than anticipated because I can't install
              common helper <br>
              tools like Cygwin because there isn't a native AArch64
              version available <br>
              (and x64 is not supported for emulation, it seems... only
              x86), and <br>
              Microsoft Visual Studio (which contains a working
              assembler) absolutely <br>
              refuses to install because Windows 10 on ARM64 is not
              supported, only <br>
              Windows 11 (and my Raspberry Pi is not "ready" to upgrade
              to Windows 11).<br>
