The cross-toolchain (mingw-gcc, mingw-binutils) are ordinary enough.
What is concerning is that:

1. Even though there is a practical standard for cross-compilers, no one
has yet written it down.

2. Some of the folks in the conversation (the libvirt folks) want to
build other (non-toolchain) packages with the mingw cross-toolchain.
