There are some notes in the issue tracker[1], but basically you clone the repo, 
adjust settings.mk, and run `make` as you normally would with mxe - usage is 
the same. Both of these are deprecated, however, and won't receive much 
maintenance in the future.

Yes, the original idea of the multi-* branches was to support static/dynamic 
linking as well as mingw.org/mingw-w64 toolchains. The $(LINK_STYLE) idea in 
the multi-target branch is going to be expanded to support custom flags[2] and 
stretched to support more top level workflow requirements[3]. The target 
dependencies in the multi-rebase branch will be taken to their logical 
conclusion and support LFS-like native builds[4]. No timeframe tough ;)

Cheers,

Tony
