If you have a correct MinGW cross-compiler, you can compile on Linux
the same things you compile on Windows.

For the sake of clarity: cross-compiling consists on compiling on a
kind of machine/OS which is different from the machine/OS that can
execute the generated binaries.

If you want to execute Windows binaries on Linux, try WINE, VMWare or
other emulators. MinGW produces Windows executables, indifferently of
what you use, either the native compiler or a cross-compiler.
