According to http://cygwin.com/license.html (and the link from there)
Red Hat does provide tools for some set of users at least

So, you think that when people need to build windows apps, the
"recommendation" should be that people should buy a linux box, put
their
sources on the linux box, figure out where to get or how to build a
cross compiler, build the sources, and then figure out how to transfer
the sources to the w

Consistency. This is only bad if one abhors consistency and
predicability. No?
I understand people coming from all

I have used MinGW on Linux to compile Windows
executables. I don't see why it could not be compiled
on other Unix variants. Try:
http://www.libsdl.org/extras/win32/cross/README.txt
and
http://www.mingw.org

Most of this really doesn't deserve an answerr, but I'll give you a
couple anyway. You spend a lot of time blaming people for their
opinions, without any evidence that you've actually understood their
opinions right. Most of what I've snipped is completely untrue.

I'll abstain from answering the other questions, I think

You can use GCC/MinGW built as a cross-compiler to do this. If you
do not mind a shameless plug, read:

Odd, I was running it on a solaris machine not windows. Maybe you
forgot to recompile it on a UNIX machine?

You want mingw, I think. The doc for this is somewhat scanty.
See e.g.

You can cross compile to cygwin using gcc.
An old link from google with "cross compiler cygwin" is

From a system admin point of view, we would like to have a UNIX
compile host to produce the DLL, since we primarily only deal with
UNIX anyway.

Yes, just use cygwin, see the cygwin folks for details.
Can you recommend a solution for compiling Windows DLLs on any
variation of UNIX?
We currently do this with Cygwin/Windows, but would like to go one
step further and do the builds on a UNIX machine that produces
Windows DLLs.
Thanks for any advice,
Ivan
