Try
mingw (http://www.mingw.org) or
cygwin (http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/)
Both are win32 versions of the GNU toolchain.

There are 2 separate targets... One for NT4 and another for 95/98.
However, the CVS repository seems incomplete
and does not have them both.
FYI, I was able to run XGGI with both versions

Also, Win32 people will not use it until it is clear that it is
cross-platform/Generic. That is why I was interested in it. However,
if the decision is really cross-platform/Generic meaning only linux/KGI,
then I'm not.
