IIRC the problematic part is to create and distribute a source tarball
with all the libraries included on the binary package (graphic
libraries, SSL, etc). This was discussed on the past and can't recall
the outcome.

MinGW is used on GNU/Linux as a cross compiler for creating Windows
binaries. Maybe the OP is thinking on this scenario. He is not aware of
the peculiar build procedure of Emacs, which requires dumping a running
binary image (maybe this could be achieved running temacs under Wine,
but modifications to the build scripts are required).
