This should be possible; we are using a cross-compiler for win32 on Solaris 2.5.1. Please be aware of the number of Win32 targets: You could target cygwin32, but this requires all your stuff to use cygwin.dll. You could also target mingw32 (minimal GNU-win32). You get all the kernel,user,gdi stuff plus linkage to a MS C library (which doesn't have fork and pipe, but at least stdio). If you do so, you better choose msvcrt4; crtdll.dll has a number of bugs. Also note that binutils doesn't work well with MS import libraries; you'd have to cross-compile everything (including Tcl).
