I went down this same path a couple of years ago, trying to get
PSPP to cross-compile from GNU/Linux to Mingw.  I think that it
worked out fairly well in the end.  But at the time I think I was
able to find pre-compiled binaries for the various libraries, so
that I didn't have to build and install them myself.  Did you
look around on the web for binary libraries?  It might save you
quite a bit of trouble, if they are available.
