Native Windows ARM64 runners are now available on GitHub Actions. Just use "runs-on: windows-11-arm" and the setup-msys2 action with "msystem: CLANGARM64" to start building/testing. >90% of MSYS2 packages are available for ARM64, so everything should be good to go.

Good news, everyone (on Arm)! There was a long-standing issue with rare deadlocks when emulating x64 Cygwin on Arm with fork heavy tasks. Thanks to github.com/jeremyd2019 's work, we've now deployed a workaround - if you experienced these issues, give it another try.
