Thank you
Cross compilation works in general -- our CI testing setup includes various cross-compile configurations, including building Windows executables from a Linux host (eg https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/jobs/1042844159). You'll need to be more specific about exactly what you're trying to do and failing (eg quoting exact commands, setups, error messages). thanks -- PMM
