In "Git bash" if you call the node shell alias (`node` without the `.exe`
extension), `winpty` is used automatically.

The Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is not directly supported, but the
GNU/Linux build process and binaries should work. The community will only
address issues that reproduce on native GNU/Linux systems. Issues that only
reproduce on WSL should be reported in the
[WSL issue tracker](https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues). Running the
Windows binary (`node.exe`) in WSL is not recommended, and will not work
without adjustment (such as stdio redirection).

### Supported toolchains

Depending on host platform, the selection of toolchains may vary.
