Let's look at it as far as (host,target) combinations. You
need a (linux,mingw) compiler to build a (mingw,mingw)
compiler on Linux.

No, because you need C++ and Java in the (linux,mingw) compiler
to build libgcj for mingw.

The crossed-native compiler is simply the (mingw,mingw) compiler
which happens to be built on Linux by (linux,mingw). Don't get
thrown off by all the fancy terminology.
