I finally can compile and crosscompile x64 binaries on my old PC. WSL idea it's great because it's the only way you can use x64 linux binaries on a DualCore (CPU without VT-x instructions, which makes VM not an option) and that without leaving Windows.

I just crosscompiled my favorite video player (mpv) just following Linux howto steps. Had to compile and install the mingw-w64 toolchain in order to compile win32 binaries, but everything worked like it should. It's a pretty big project that downloads, patches and compiles more than 40 libraries like FFmpeg. 5Gb of source code that compiles in a single 30Mb mpv.exe file.

I wasn't expecting much from WSL but I'm impressed it worked so well.
