In theory it should be possible to create a mkspec for this, but nobody 
attempted it yet. I myself gave up cross-compiling with MinGW from Linux 
somewhen early in the 4.x run, when my orginal recipe failed. 

You have to test the software on Windows anyways, so why bother with 
compiling on a different system? (If it is Bash-Scripts: there is MSys.)
