The most daunting problem while trying to cross-compile the Wine
tests is the setup of the MinGW cross-compiling environment. Here
are some instructions for different Linux distributions and *BSD
systems to help with this problem.

This needs to be documented. The best may be to ask on the Wine
development mailing list and update this documentation with the
result of your inquiry.
Wine's build system already has support for building tests with a MinGW
cross-compiler. See the section above called 'Setup of the MinGW
cross-compiling environment' for instructions on how to set things up.
When you have a MinGW environment installed all you need to do is rerun
configure and it should detect the MinGW compiler and tools. Then run
'make crosstest' to start building the tests.
