Things which prevent to build branch gtk-xt build for target WIN32 when 
cross compiling on Linux using minGW:

1) These types were not defined (very easy to correct):

  Dimension
  Position
  Pixel

2) These macros were not defined (very easy to correct):

  True
  False

3) These signals do not exist:

  SIGPIPE
  SIGUSR1
  SIGALRM
  SIGKILL

4) These include files do not exist:

  <pwd.h>
  <sys/ioctl.h>

5) These functions/system calls do not exist:

  getpwuid (declered in missing pwd.h)
  getpwnam (declared in missing pwd.h)
  ConsoleCreate (declared as extern void ConsoleCreate(); in backend.c)
  strndup (easy to implement/replace)
  flock
  pipe
  fork
  nice
  alarm
  wait
  kill
