I am not sure if this is the best list to ask, but I will ask here since
it's related to development and cross compilation.
I have setup a 32 bit chroot environment to be able to cross develop for
windows. I followed this guide:

You should be better off using this instead:
http://www.nongnu.org/mingw-cross-env
mingw + dlls + etc... works just fine under crossdev/Gentoo

It's just a bit difficult to work with. It needs a lot of effort to set
everything up. I recommend mingw-cross-env because it simply works out
of the box and you can even compile stuff like Qt and build Windows Qt
applications without any effort. 64-bit Windows apps also easy to build.
So all things considered, it's the better solution. crossdev of course
has other virtues and is universal. It's really just the MS Windows
special case that makes mingw-cross-env worth looking at, since it's
specialized for just this, while crossdev is a generic solution.
Btw, does anyone intent to put an ebuild of mingw-cross-env in Portage? :P
