Alon,
sorry for taking so much time in getting back to you. I've been extremely busy after the recent acquisition and I haven't found time to work on it. I plan to work again on it within the next couple of weeks.
Have a nice day

I use the simple way...
Gentoo's crossdev
crossdev -t i686-w64-mingw32
crossdev -t x86_64-w64-mingw32

That should work.
Can you tell me the exact steps and environment that you use to target 32bit
with MINGW64?
Have a nice day
