[gentoo-dev] mingw-w64 crossdev prefix?

[Marty Plummer <netz.kernel@gmail.com>]

Greetings,

So, I'm a relatively new gentoo user (as of 2016-12) coming from arch,
and  one thing I've noticed is the relative difficulty of setting up a
mingw-w64 cross-compile toolchain and libraries.

I'm considering the idea of setting up a sort of prefix specifically
with the intent of being used on a 'normal' gentoo system with the sole
purpose of creating 'normal' windows binaries; does anyone have
suggestions/objections about the idea?

As it currently stands I have to use an archlinux chroot to do my
cross-compiling, and I'd really enjoy to be able to do this sort of
thing without depending on an auxiliary distro.

Marty.
