Thanks Ryan, they've finally been included:

https://github.com/mxe/mxe/commit/380392bcd5ca6c14432ad0bbd056d6faaccbfbd5

along with some minor fixes:

https://github.com/mxe/mxe/commit/6a17de0c04536cda3e70af30ce17da7940679a29

I couldn't get the update macros to work for libgda* (beta versions 4.99 are 
tricky) and left them as a todo.

Cheers,

Tony
