What is unclear about
`The preferred build environment is to use gcc 4.2.1: this can easily be
built from the sources as a cross-compiler, but the MinGW-specific
patches are not yet stable (and not needed to build R).
You will need suitable cross-compilers installed and in your path.
We do not at present distribute suitable cross-compilers.'
from 'R Installation and Administration'? It looks like the MinGW
project
are never going to release the sources for their build of gcc 4.2.1 and
that the next release will be of 4.3.0.
I've not used them, but
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-cross/
does offer i386 and x86_64 cross-build toolchains for F8 and F9, and I've
seen references to Ubuntu/Debian cross-build toolchains.
