Last I checked bash on windows is still segregated from the windows system proper. So you cannot call any windows utility/compilers from windows bash. You cannot write to existing files/directories either, based on WSL docs. Hopefully these limitations will be removed.

I don't think that's true. You've been able to execute windows tools from WSL for a while now.

And access to file system through /mnt/c even longer.
