There are several problems cross compiling from Linux to Windows CE, namely:

* The binutils utilized are pre-compiled for win32-to-wince. Maybe you
can search the internet for precompiled binutils for linux-to-wince.
If they don´t exist you will need to compile your own binutils.

* You can transfer the application to the PDA using ActiveSync. I
don´t think you can use ActiveSync on Linux (because it´s a .exe
created by microsoft =)  )

* Another way to use the cross-compiler it to test the application on
the emulator, but...... microsoft created the emulator =) So it only
runs on Windows.

Basically it´s possible, but it will be a lot of work, and the end
result may not be good.
