mingw -> linux cross compiler

[Sheryl Canter]

Eljay,

>What difference does it make whether the compiler is a gcc-for-mingw that
targets Linux, or gcc-for-cygwin that targets Linux?

>>As I understand it, gcc-for-mingw cannot target Linux, since Linux does
not have a Win32 API.

I don't think this is relevant. gcc is just a compiler. You can choose the
input. I wouldn't try to compile the Win32 API for a Linux target.
