Not that I'm aware of; at least not for branch_release-1-8. I think the problems that drove me to conclude that MinGW cross-compilation isn't productive are all Windows-specific, to do with differences between the emulated build environment and a real Windows environment. > Thinking a little about this, I would think that you would need a C > cross-compiler, and a Guile cross-compiler.

However, that prompts me to realize that perhaps I'm not really addressing your question properly. Because for my MinGW/Wine build I actually had to suppress the use of GUILE_FOR_BUILD (see [1]). So perhaps what I've been doing isn't actually cross-compiling in the sense that you're thinking.
