There is the http://mxe.cc project, which automates building windows libs on linux hosts, and has pretty responsive mailing list. They basically stuffed downloads, configure options and patches into Makefiles, so you just type "make glib", it compiles dependencies and glib using your cross-compiler. A number of mingw-cross-compiled libs is packaged for OpenSUSE, e.g. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=glib2&project=windows%3Amingw (you could use alien to convert to .deb packages), if you don't want to compile. There were two scripts compiling several libs (glib is one of them) on the list recently, though they were compiling on windows host - maybe they would be worth investigating, in attachments of http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.mingw.w64.general/6511 and http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.mingw.w64.general/6514 .
