gcc-mingw would be the pieces that I mentioned in my message.
Basically, that would be a /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/bin symlink and
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-mingw32 populated with whatever was needed.

This is what I referenced in my original mail.

I'm not talking about a real cross compiler.  I've got -mno-cygwin
working pretty well now with relatively minimal changes.  Adding the
'32' on the end really screws up a few things which assumed that
strlen(mingw) < strlen(cygwin) but I'm working through those.
