-Rust does not yet ship pre-compiled artifacts for this target. To compile for

 ## Cross-compilation toolchains and C code
 
 Compatible C code can be built with either MSVC's `cl.exe` or LLVM's clang-cl.
+
+Cross-compilation is possible using clang-cl/lld-link. It also requires the
+Windows SDK, which can be acquired using [`xwin`](https://github.com/Jake-Shadle/xwin).
+
+- Install `clang-cl` and `lld-link` on your machine, and make sure they are in
+  your $PATH.
+- Install `xwin`: `cargo install xwin`
+- Use `xwin` to install the Windows SDK: `xwin splat --output winsdk`
+- Create an `xwin-lld-link` script with the following content:
+
+  ```bash
+  #!/usr/bin/env bash
+  set -e
+  XWIN=/path/to/winsdk
+  lld-link "$@" /libpath:$XWIN/crt/lib/x86_64 /libpath:$XWIN/sdk/lib/um/x86_64 /libpath:$XWIN/sdk/lib/ucrt/x86_64
+  ```
+
+- Create an `xwin-clang-cl` script with the following content:
+
+  ```bash
+  #!/usr/bin/env bash
+  set -e
+  XWIN=/path/to/winsdk
+  clang-cl /imsvc "$XWIN/crt/include" /imsvc "$XWIN/sdk/include/ucrt" /imsvc "$XWIN/sdk/include/um" /imsvc "$XWIN/sdk/include/shared" --target="x86_64-pc-windows-msvc" "$@"
+  ```
+
+- In your config.toml, add the following lines:
+
+  ```toml
+  [target.x86_64-win7-windows-msvc]
+  linker = "path/to/xwin-lld-link"
+  cc = "path/to/xwin-clang-cl"
+  ```
+
+You should now be able to cross-compile the Rust std, and any rust program.
