Is there a problem with that? Mono comes with a script called
"build-mingw32.sh" for cross-compiling on linux. I use that for every mono
release since about 2.2 as I need a little customization, changing the heap
setting, before they get the new garbage collector code scheduled for 2.8(?)
ready. I only rebuild the runtime - not the class libraries, so I stop the
build in the middle.
There are some dependency differences (depending on different versions of
dependent dll's) against MSVC builds, file naming differences (the mono dll is
called libmono.dll in one but just mono.dll in the other - I filed a bug for it
and it is still open), and dependencies on gcc_s*.dll from exception unwinding,
but it is basically inter-operable - as I swap one part of the stock msvc build
with a custom mingw cross-compiled part for every release for much of the last
two years now.
