Right, but you should be able to compile a library with either MinGW or clang from Linux that your users can use with MSVC.

Not if it uses C++. MinGW uses the G++ ABI which is totally incompatible with the MSVC ABI.

(Also, a lot of the issues we face affect headers, which need to be compiled into the client projects.)

Since the code is so small and in C++ why not make it a header only library?
