I don't have a useful URL. While people do Linux -> Windows all the
time, I doubt Windows -> Linux is common. The basic operation would
be
configure --build=i386-cygwin --host=i386-linux-gnu --prefix=/....
make
I'll note that you do need Linux header files and a Linux glibc.
There is no substitute for that. Fortunately Linux binaries are easy
to come by. I wouldn't recommend trying to build glibc on a Windows
system; that sounds like a world of hurt.
Also, you need to build the binutils as well as gcc.
