I thought I share my little experience here:

I managed to install cross mingw/gcc compilers for 32 and 64 bit, version 4.7.2 each (cross-i686-pc-mingw32 resp. cross-x86_64-w64-mingw32).

However, the 64 version seems to require some extra tweaks: On (my) system where multilib is enabled by some gentoo defaults, the mingw/gcc 64 bit version tries to install both -m32 and -m64 variants by default, too. This, however, always fails -- because the 32 run finally tries to link against 64 bit mingw64-runtime libs (like libkernel32, libuser32 etc), although mingw64-runtime installs both 32 and 64 runtime libs.

While it seems some more effort to direct mingw/gcc 64 bit into the right direction when linking m32 resp m64 libs, I worked around this by disabling multilib and having an overlay for i686 and x86_64 separately. Disabling multilib works like this:
Code:
EXTRA_ECONF="--disable-multilib"
.

(I am not using emerge but paludis/cave so I don't know if this is an issue in gentoo's crossdev package, too.)
