Research direction

Start with the vmm-tests --install-missing-deps path and the build_support/windows_cross/x86_64-lld-link entry point shown in the traceback. Check how missing Windows cross-compilation tools are detected and installed; done means the command installs clang-14 and lld so the lld-link lookup no longer fails.
