Cross-compilation of LibreOffice completely is not possible yet. Much
work has been done, "baby steps" for some platforms, much more for
others, but a lot remains. For iOS and Android this work is highly
experimental and done mostly in my own spare time just for the hacking
pleasure. No promise, explicit or implied, is given that it will ever
be finished.

This OOo-originated MinGW support attempts to support both running
Cygwin gcc in its -mno-cygwin mode, and a native MinGW compiler. The
-mno-cygwin mechanism in the Cygwin gcc is rapidly being obsoleted, if
it isn't already, and I have not attempted to check that it keeps
working. Ditto for native MinGW; if one compiles natively on Windows,
why not use Microsoft's compiler, as OOo/LO has been build for Windows
all the time using that and it works fine.

in fact I have activly cleaned out mechanisms related to this. Ditto
for native MinGW. If one compiles natively on Windows, just use
Microsoft's compiler. OOo/LO has been built for Windows all the time

In my opinion, the only case where it makes sense to use MinGW is for
cross-compilation. There is just too much crack on Windows anyway, and
