Does is also work with the Free-Software MinGW toolchain?

That would make it possible to generate Windows binaries without having to run a Windows VM, through cross-compiling, using e.g. MXE: http://mxe.cc/

It does. It supports mingw on windows as well as cross-compiling from linux using cargo (rust's package manager and build tool). Installing mingw-w64 from my distribution's package manager and telling cargo where to find its linker and assembler was all I needed to cross compile stand alone windows binaries of some command line tools I wrote.
