The GNU project doesn't provide binaries for any platform; it only provides
source code.
I've never tried to cross-compile for Windows but presumably you still need
Windows runtime software to do that, and those runtimes are not freely
licensed.
There are other groups who will create and make available binaries for
Windows. Perhaps they will reply here with pointers.
Cheers!
