iOS 6.1 Toolchain
The "iOS Toolchain" package on the BigBoss repo provides a useful toolchain capable of developing packages on jailbroken devices using the iOS SDK (tested up to the 6.1 SDK) It contains: LLVM, Clang, and CompilerRT 3.3 LD64 134.9 Darwin CC Tools 839
When used with theos, these can produce binaries for arm, armv6, armv7, and armv7f using SDKS up to and including the iOS 6.1 SDK.
6.1 Toolchain For Windows
CoolStar (who ported the 6.1 toolchain to jailbroken iOS devices) is also working on a port for Windows here[1]. Currently LLVM, Clang and CompilerRT 3.3 have been ported so far. LD64 and the Darwin CC Tools are in progress.
