For those who need MINGW 32/64 libraries, my cross compile script is in
boinc/xcompile. It supports compiling i686-w64-mingw32,
x86_64-w64-mingw32, and i686-pc-mingw32 from linux and cygwin. and should
pull in source and compile the necessary libraries, but you need to be able
to write to you mingw32 sysroot (i.e. /usr/${TARGET_HOST}/sys-root/mingw/)
directory to install them where configure will find them. If your install
isn't in /usr, you'll need to edit the script to point to it. I've been
meaning to make it a command line option, but that hasn't happened yet.
