The short answer is that you are looking in the wrong place because there is no such thing as the "PPC version of MinGW". I believe there are ports of GCC targeting ARM/WinCE but they are not related to MinGW. Executables built for desktop Windows (NT/9x/etc.), which is what MinGW produces, are never compatible with Windows CE executables: you have to rebuild the program using a Windows CE compiler.
