You are better off with one of the dual boot OSes in a virtual machine

I do not even know if you can create equivalent of symlinks (used
extensively in yocto) on an NTFS
In theory, it might work, but NTFS was not built for linux, likewise,
ext4 was not meant to be used for windows. It is a bad idea.
You know - unless this happens to be your master's research thesis :-)

I am creating a Yocto Project build system. For various reasons, it is a
dual-boot system, win7& linux (probably mint 12, haven't decided). I have a
primary boot disk with both operating systems and a large secondary disk to
use for build trees etc.
Does the filesystem on the big secondary disk matter? Ideally I would like
to be able to get to the large data disk from both operating systems. That
would necessitate NTFS, as win7 does not speak ext4 reliably, but I don't
want to slow my builds down.

I'm no expert in this either but I am unsure how NTFS handles file
permissions, something else that could horribly break!
If I were you I would do as suggested earlier and run Win7 in a virtual
machine then use a shared directory/network shares system.
Otherwise, you could format as ext3 and use the 3rd party drivers
available to Windows for reading. Again though I don't know how
permissions are handled or anything like that so it may be ok for
browsing but I wouldn't recommend major changes through it.
