Build2 seems to have the right idea.
Scattered files: In CMake, it's quite common for the build script to be split over multiple files. Most commonly it's a top-level CMakeLists.txt, then another for each subdirectory (often corresponding to a target), plus some utilities in a cmake/ subdirectory. But that is nothing compared to build2. Just look at the build script repo for libpq. What on earth is going on? There are a few top-level files, plus a submodule for the upstream (fair enough), but then absolutely heaps of subdirectories mirroring pq directories, plus softlinks into the upstream submodule. There are others that actually look worse to me but I don't feel comfortable linking to them because I'm not sure what's going on!

Best compiler for C99
Or LLVM Clang directly without a pseudo *nix environment: https://github.com/friendlyanon/cmake-init-clang-on-windows

Cross Compile
While not embedded, but here is an example for compiling with LLVM Clang on Windows without needing vcvarsall.

Why does Microsoft want to ditch C?
I was informed that this is not the case. lld supports PE/COFF natively on Windows. You just need to provide some flags to use the MSVC .lib and include files to use Clang properly. Or use the vcvarsall, but that's stinky and I don't like having all that env stuff in my terminal all the time.

Quick guide to Windows programming for Unix/Linux C programmers?
Regarding building, I'd advise staying as far away from Mingw, msys and Cygwin as possible. You can just use LLVM Clang without any issue on Windows. You can keep using vim with Clang tools as if you were on Linux still.
-
What Linux distros and environment setup are recommended/optimal for C++ development?
CMake, Clang and Conan work all the same on all operating systems. I don't know why you would like to force yourself into one kind of environment that might not suit your needs in other areas as well. On Windows, you can even use LLVM Clang without godawful hacks like mingw.

Build2 seems to have the right idea.
From a quick searching I found what it takes to compile a Windows executable on macOS, these flags could be very easily turned into a toolchain file and the situation would be similar on Linux as well.

Thoughts on build systems?
cmake-init was just for a general project setup. One of the examples in fact shows what a toolchain file should look like.

Installing c compiler on windows 10.
You can also just use LLVM Clang on Windows. Still requires MSVC installed though, because of link.exe, system .libs and system headers.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing libpq and cmake-init-clang-on-windows you can also consider the following projects:
conan-center-index - Recipes for the ConanCenter repository
Vcpkg - C++ Library Manager for Windows, Linux, and MacOS
conan - Conan - The open-source C and C++ package manager
pkgconf - package compiler and linker metadata toolkit
raylib - A simple and easy-to-use library to enjoy videogames programming
sol2 - `build2` package of `sol2`
spdlog - build2 package of the spdlog library
Ease - Ease is a Build System for C++ that strive to acheive simplicity. There is no dependancies, no installation you drop off Ease.hpp in your project and can start writing a build function. The build function will be called and the build will start according to the return value of this function.
cmkr - Modern build system based on CMake and TOML.
