I see suggestions about cygwin.
It is probably too slow for short life processes such as gcc.

I would create a Linux VM on Windows and use Linux tool inside it.

If the box is powerful, you have HW-assisted virtualization, so
just pick a good VM manager (don't know which is better at the moment,
Vmware, VirtualBox, ...) and create one VM, or more than one if you have
a lot of cores and memory.
