IMHO we should be fine with defaulting to OCC by now. Previously there were
issues with the occ build in msys2 where kicad would not link to it
properly, but we have since started to support msvc instead and we are
using occ for those builds for master.

Also, I think we are using occ on macos now, according to a comment on
zulip:

while now (hence my build comment on the issue)

There was a bit back and forth going on there for macos...
