Hello,

I don't want to reinstall entire WSL just for this test. I have WSL2 enabled and installed Ubuntu:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Release: 20.04
Codename: focal

There is a difference in Ubuntu version, you suggested 18.04, do You think It may be relevant?

also I had no dos2unix and eclipse installed so I follow steps c. and 2.

I don't know how to answer to point 3. I'm using WSL already.

In effect, nothing changed. nios2-elf-ar.exe still hangs.
