Depending on corporate rules that may or may not be allowed. But I too
am interested in the use case driving these changes. Sandbox is
essentially a test platform. We test that we can do host tools on
Windows via MSYS2 for semi-reasonable reasons, since those tools can be
used in a number of places. We do the same on macOS in Azure as a check
on building regular targets there too (which should work and I believe
people do, both from macOS and from *BSD which this is a stand-in for,
as we can't get free VMs for them today). What's the end goal of this
series?
