I think this should work for both Ubuntu and Debian cross compiling:
install mingw32, mingw32-runtime, mingw32-binutils and wine.
Now there is a bug in wine which they won't fix. system() will run a
unix process, e.g. the C compiler, but not wait for it to complete.
Therefore before beginning to run gcl, one must cd into unixport and
run the following shell script:
#!/bin/sh
cd $(dirname $0)
while true ; do
if [ -e lckk ] ; then
if ! pidof $(basename $(awk '{print $1}' lckk)); then
echo $(cat lckk) is done
rm lckk;
fi
fi
sleep 0.1;
done &
One then applies a small patch I'm finalizing which detects running
under wine and waits on the lockfile when running system() when found.
Then it is simply
export PATH=/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/bin:$PATH
CC=/usr/bin/i586-mingw32msvc-gcc ./configure --host=mingw32 && make
Let me know if you'd like to try the patch. If it passes all my
tests, it will be going into cvs shortly anyway. I thought I could
get around the lockfile business, but the wine developers say this is
the best option.
We have a native windows user (Donald Winiecki) testing these binaries
separately (thanks so much!).

No rush, please only do what is convenient. Just trying to get 2.6.8
out of the way at last.
BTW, 20100701 being uploaded into Debian this evening.
