That mkspec was removed because it was subsumed by the main win32-g++ 
mkspec.

As far as I know, there is no "official" way of cross compiling. But MXE 
(http://mxe.cc/) provides a complete cross-building environment. 
Historically it has been focused on building static libraries. Recently 
support for shared libraries was added on the master branch. A lot of 
the cross building features found in the Qt build system were were 
proposed on behalf of MXE.
