Like Danny says, that would be a mistake.  The real question to be 
asked, (of the OP)...

Did you also build a cross-binutils, (with --target=llvm), to go with 
your cross-gcc?  That's the one that needs to be configured with 
the --with-sysroot option.

You might find some inspiration in the build scripts, which we 
provide on the MinGW downloads page at SourceForge -- they define 
the procedure I use to build my GNU/Linux hosted cross-MinGW, (still 
using  GCC-3.4.5, until I find enough round tuits to update for the 
new packaging format, and extra dependencies of GCC-4.4).
