[Mingw-cross-env-list] cross-compiler for linux (?)

[Alois Schlögl]

Recently, I've tested Tony's mxe, which supports multiple targets 
(i686-static, i686-dynamic, and x86_64-static).  It looks very good and 
both static version are working fine for me.
I'm wondering how easy it would be to include support for other target, 
I'm thinking about an experimental gnu/linux target.

I hear you asking why would one like to do that. The advantage would be 
to have simple cross-compiler framework, that works with more recent 
software than installed on a typical stable system. A typical use case 
would be a project requires qt 4.7.x, but it's not available (yet) on 
debian/stable. Instead of building the whole toolchain for the latest 
dependencies, one could use the mxe framework.

Admittingly, this might use case might not be the most important one, 
because the alternative doing by hand on linux is not that difficult. 
But it could still demonstrated the power of MXE is a multi-target 
cross-compiler framework.
