All installers on https://qemu.weilnetz.de/ are cross built
on Debian GNU Linux, but from time to time I also build on
Windows.

Setting up a build environment based on Cygwin works pretty
well because Cygwin includes most needed packages to cross
compile for Mingw-w64, both for 32 bit (mingw64-i686-*)
and 64 bit (mingw64-x86_64-*), see
https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=mingw64-&arch=x86_64.

I also use the Cygwin packages on Debian GNU Linux,
because Debian includes cross tools (compiler, linker)
for Mingw-w64, but nearly no libraries.
