Anyone up to reviewing a list of linux -> windows/osx/dos cross compilers?

I honestly don't know what the point of my own website is, other then
I stick tidbits on there I have found useful (sortof like a public
manual for things that I tinker with)..

I have been studying cross platform development,  and I put up a list
of all the cross compilers I have built/used.  No clue if anyone else
would find this useful, but wouldn't mind a few eyes there.

x86_64-w64-mingw32, a 32bit/64bit linux to windows cross compiler
- Mostly copied from the site itself, and seems fairly stable (I
should update the snapshot)

i686-pc-mingw32, a 32bit linux to windows cross compiler
- I used it before I found out mingw64 existed,  left on the site as
it was a working toolchain...

x86_64-apple-darwin10, a linux to OSX cross compiler
- spent months (over the last couple years) trying to find all the
parts I needed to get this working (and succeeded about 3 days ago).
I get the sense this is not a target that is widely used out there,
and not sure how "correct" my solution was.  Ran into some of the same
problems that LFS had with gcc-pass1 in chapter 5.

i586-pc-msdosdjgpp, a linux to dos (w/ 32bit extensions) cross compiler
- Not sure if I'd use this if I did get it working, but about 5-8
years ago I put a lot of research into this.  Added it to the page if
I ever decided to look into it again (although it "segfaults" when I
try to use it).  Never did track down the failure yet.

now to get all of my packaging research on a page...  finding tools
that can make .msi files, or .dmg, and proper icon creation has been
scattered across the web [wix.sf.net, dmg2img, png2icns,
libdmg-hfsplus, the fact that mkisofs can create a readonly dmg,
e.t.c]
