MXE use gcc/mingw/GNU toolchains (like gcc/mingw/MSYS2), but instead of need a Windows license and install in a real Windows and natively compiling for Windows, it install on Linux and cross-compile to Windows.
mingw is gcc configured as cross compiler at the end.
To do so, MXE supply lot of libraries compiled for Windows (dll), so you can cross-compile and link a quite complex windows binary from Linux.
Using Wine you can also test the executable without the Win license.
