In theory, yes you can do this.

However, setting up NT hosted tools isn't quite as simple as Unix tools,
and setting up a cross compiler is a little more complicated than setting
up a native compiler.

I don't know your exact situation, but you might want to try and tackle
one problem at a time.  For example, first get familiar with building
cross compilers on unix, then start looking at NT.

Or try the opposite -- get a native compiler working on NT first, then
try to get a cross compiler for the 68360 build.
