Cross compilation works in general -- our CI testing setup
includes various cross-compile configurations, including
building Windows executables from a Linux host
(eg https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/jobs/1042844159).

You'll need to be more specific about exactly what you're
trying to do and failing (eg quoting exact commands,
setups, error messages).
