You need a cross-linker and cross-assembler binaries.
- Then you must compile the linux RTL on windows:
   cd rtl; make TARGET_OS=linux OPT=-FDc:\path\to\crossutils
- when compiling your source code, specify the target -Tlinux
   and add again -FDc:\path\to\crossutils
- If you need to link to external libraries, you'll need copies of those
   libraries on your Windows machine.

I think there is somewhere a cross-compile FAQ, but I don't have an URL.
