How easy is it to build a GHC cross compiler targeting Windows?

You would start with

   perl boot
   ./configure --build=i386-unknown-linux --host=i386-unknown-mingw32 
--target=i386-unknown-mingw32 --with-gcc=something

and then see what breaks.  We probably don't distinguish between the 
host platform gcc and the cross-compiler gcc in the build system, that 
will probably cause difficulties.
