I suppose the question is, are the libraries under linux GPL or LGPL. If GPL, it 
means you must release the source, because it contains functions from the 
libraries. If LGPL, then you don't need to release the source.

Well, lets just call it MinGW, because it will support 64 bit and higher systems 
too. And yes, MinGW is available as a cross-compiler under Linux. So you can 
develop Windows programs under Linux. (And test it with wine (Win Emulator) :)
