Depends on the target. You may not be able to build libgcc.a when
cross-compiling for some targets; for others, having just the target
headers will suffice.

You may want to check out the various howtos at
http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/
The linux->cygwin cross assumes you have the Cygwin development tree
already installs. If you look at the linux->mingw howto, it shows how
and what to install for the target environment (headers/libs); the
latest one, cygwin->linux, gives more details.
