Okay, so I give it another try.

    git clone http://git.savannah.gnu.org/r/guile.git -b stable-2.0
    cd guile

It seems that your patch is already in there, so no "patch" command
is needed after "git clone". Next steps are autogen/configure/make.
The whole configure command is a bit longer, because unfortunately
we have to tweak some stuff to make it really cross-compile:

   ./autogen.sh
   ./configure --host=i686-pc-mingw32 --disable-shared --without-threads 
scm_cv_struct_timespec=no LIBS='-lunistring -lintl -liconv'
   make

Explanation:

   "--without-threads" is needed because threading is a difficult
   issue that I'd like to deal later with.

   "scm_cv_struct_timespec=no" is needed to ensure that libguile/threads.c
   won't try to use the "struct timespec" from <pthreads.h>, which
   would fail because we don't use pthreads (yet). I think this should
   better be fixed in the source, but this workaround does the trick for now.

   "LIBS='-lunistring -lintl -liconv'" is needed because otherwise,
   the detection of libunistring fails. I think this should better
   be fixed in configure.ac, but this workaround does the trick for now.

In addition, I had to fix two other things in the source. The patches
are attached to this email:

    "fix-include-error-in-gen-scmconfig.patch"
    The patch re-introduces a change which I already proposed
    in my last patch: You can't use $(AM_CPPFLAGS) for the native
    build, because it adds "-I../lib" which means that <stdio.h>
    is taken from the local GNU-lib installation. The problem is
    that the GNU-lib in "lib/" has been configured for MinGW, not
    for the native system. So it performs some fixes which don't
    work on non-MinGW systems, leading to strange, unhelpful error
    messages. It took me quite some time to figure this out, mostly
    because I thought that this should have already been fixed.

    "remove-mingw-ifsock.patch"
    This patch fixes an issue that also appears on native MinGW
    build, because _S_IFSOCK simply isn't defined there. Note that
    this issue was already reported, but hasn't been fixed up to
    now, at least not in the stable-2.0 branch:
    http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2011-01/msg00183.html

After those changes, the build continues quite far, but ultimately
fails at the following position:
