Please don't top-post. It makes mailing list discussions harder to read.

In order to get editing rights on the Fedora wiki you need to have a
Fedora account. Instructions how to do so can be found at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Help:Editing

Back in 2009 Richard W.M. Jones gave a classroom session on IRC about
how the mingw32 toolchain can installed and used on Fedora. The logs of
this classroom session can be found at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Using_the_Windows_cross-compiler_Classroom_(20090308)
The information mentioned there should mostly still apply on today's
state of the mingw32 toolchain. Unfortunately the annexia links
(Richard's personal domain) seem to be broken now, but perhaps Richard
still has access to the files mentioned on that wiki page.

Kind regards,
