I'm very interested in using Linux / GCC for cross-compiling to Microsoft SUA (Subsystem for Unix Applications) format (I have SUA 6.1 as part of Windows 7, 64-bits). Using SUA to natively compile programs and their dependencies is a hassle given the general lacklustre support by MS, no real package manager, etc. What is the best way to do this using Linux? I am open to other approaches, but personally envision Linux as part of the solution. If there are better cross-compilers for the job I'd like to know- seems that I'd have to opt for an older distro (according to GNU webpage, SUA support ended with GCC 3.3)

Gentoo has a Prefix target for Interix. You can try this but I'm not sure if it's up-to-date. It is basically a Gentoo installation (with package manager) inside your Interix system.
The Prefix solution should be easier to maintain that cross-compiling.
