Wait wait, we're talking about two different things.  I'm not talking about
packaging GNU Smalltalk for Fedora.  I'm talking about developing Windows
programs on Linux using MinGW and Wine, and the problems I had with it *while
trying it out on GNU Smalltalk*.

(Don't be confused by my @redhat.com; this is not something I'm doing for my
job).

Yes, it runs the VM executable to compile the runtime.  It would be possible to
do as said in comment #9 (the output file is the same for i686-linux and
i686-mingw32,some files are even the same for all architectures), or just to
BuildRequire the native package and copy bits from its /usr/share and /var/lib
into the target package.

But let's not get distracted from the main issue, which is about interactions
between wine (which makes the i686-pc-mingw32 not really a cross compiler
anymore) and the cross compilation environment.  Wine and a cross-compiler will
not really be installed together by Koji, but they definitely will be together
on a Fedora user's machine (such as me).
