+On Microsoft Windows you can install MSYS2 and a 64-bit toolchain by following [these instructions](https://www.msys2.org/#installation).  To obtain a 32-bit toolchain run:
+
+`pacman -S --needed mingw-w64-i686-toolchain`
 
-To start, run `make mingw32_defconfig` or `make mingw64_defconfig`.  You can then customize your build with `make menuconfig` or by editing `.config`, if you know what you're doing.
