For what it's worth, I've had good luck compiling *most* extension modules on Windows using the gcc from MinGW-w64. The big notable exception was that last time I tried compiling Numpy with it I got a segfaulting Numpy. But I never had a chance to investigate why or if it's fixable. My own extension modules work fine on Windows when compiled in MinGW though.
