Mingw-gcc exists as a linux package precisely to allow you to compile stuff for windows. As for reliability, it should be as reliable as any other sort of compilation.

What OS do you use? I use a gentoo offshoot which has a tool to set up the right environment.
You just have to compile it to build for windows and isolate it from the usual gcc(usually by location and name)

Then the only way I know is to manually compile it. Qwerty probably can help you more.

MinGW gets stored in a directory that you set... at least that's how it works on windows :P

You want cross-compiling? USE JAVA!!!
