I'm one of the MinGW developers and I do cross compilation in Gentoo
and RedHat, but I use a Makefile to do all the work. You can see it at
http://mefriss1.swan.ac.uk/~jfonseca/gnu-win32/documentation/cross/index.html
. It should be quite straightforward to write a set of ebuilds for MinGW
cross compilation from it.
The Makefile builds the cross tools for the latest versions, but I've
had some problems with building C++ support hence being disabled. I
still have to check on that.
