With crossdev on Gentoo you even get package-management for any dependencies you install into your cross-compilation environment. Even that solution does have some rough edges though, so I only recommend it for people who like doing that kind of thing. And for the people wondering about gcc 4.5.0: That is used quite a bit on Windows since it fixes some major Windows-specific problems - however personally I can only advice against any gcc version that has a 0 anywhere in its version number.
