You've got a bad target there. If you correct it to "x86_64-windows" (the "-
msvc" suffix is unnecessary, but you can use it to pass an MSVC version, like
"-msvc19.6.3") or to "x86_64-mingw", you get 2.

$ cat test.cpp
unsigned x = sizeof(wchar_t);
$ clang -target x86_64-windows -S -o - test.cpp
        .text
        .def @feat.00;
        .scl 3;
        .type 0;
        .endef
        .globl @feat.00
.set @feat.00, 0
        .file "-"
        .data
        .globl "?x@@3IA" # @"?x@@3IA"
        .p2align 2
"?x@@3IA":
        .long 2 # 0x2

        .addrsig
$ clang -target x86_64-mingw -S -o - test.cpp
        .text
        .def @feat.00;
        .scl 3;
        .type 0;
        .endef
        .globl @feat.00
.set @feat.00, 0
        .file "-"
        .data
        .globl x # @x
        .p2align 2
x:
        .long 2 # 0x2

        .addrsig
