Short answer : Yes you can. You can make any kind of executable (for
other platforms) using gcc. You don't have to use windoze to make
windoze programs.
Long answer: "man gcc". Sorry I don't remember the exact option, but
AFAIR it was "-b" followed by your platforms name.
Warning: Using this method, I have produced windows executables on my
linux box, and then executed them on my windows box. However, my
programs were very simple, and did not use any DLL. I am sure that
there is a way to even use windows DLLs, but I haven't done it.
Cheers
