I don't think there is any glue code.

Apart from the fact that I still cannot understand why building with a cross-compiler in a VM can be easier than doing a native mingw build: For years, this was one of the most often requested "features", probably to allow debugging within msvc. > the main reason was basically just for convenience > (build it all from just one place; also linux environments > are new to me).. seemed to work fine at first, and was > quite quick to set up...

I believe you had to install mingw to use msvc, the gcc compiler you installed should work fine, no reason to setup Ubuntu to compile for win32.
