Can you also test the generated binaries by running them with wine?
The last time I tried to generate a binary built with MinGW on my
system and run it with wine, it failed. Here is the info I posted
about my attempts at this the last time I tried it:

Without a way to test or debug it, I think I would find building
binaries this way a really frustrating experience.
