Hmm, to me this is a pretty bewildering excuse, because a cross toolchain which
doesn't match the native host's libraries it targets, is widely free of sense
and useless.

Well, then you likely may want to launch a native mingw32 distro, matching your
ming32 packages, such that your ming32 toolchain finally has a target platform
or help mingw32.org? 

However, I'd seriously recommend you fix your toolchain to match with that
toolchain packages windoze users are really using (mingw.org).
I regret, but in it's present shape your cross-toolchain is more a waste of
diskspace but real support for cross-building to Windows.
