"difficult" is an understatement. For starters, a cross compile
requires the exact same version of guile running on the Linux host as you
want to cross compile for windows. Of course, current binary packages as
distributed by Debian differ in some minor way from the version cross
compile scripts want to work with. In addition, it seems not sufficient
to install the "right" version of guile in /usr/local. Consequently, the
minipack system as distributed by Peter Brett asks to remove each and
every guile package from my system. Next step is to download, compile
install the desired version of guile from source for linux.

I just tried the minipack way again -- got rid of Debian the Debian
guile packages, compiled and installed guile 2.0.11. Unfortunately, I
got stuck during cross compile of libiconv which is needed by guile:

mpk build libiconv
(...)
/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-ld: .libs/iconv.o:iconv.c:(.text+0x14ac4): undefi=
ned reference to `aliases2_lookup'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
(...)

Next, I will try the automatic cross compile script by Mads Elvheim
that had me successfully produce a guile.exe back in 2016:=20
	https://github.com/Madsy/guile-automatic-build
This project seems to be asleep since then. (Heck, there is even a note
about me contributing a tiny little fix :) Maybe, just maybe, the script
still works. Will report my mileage ...

Apparently, upstream is not very keen on supporting guile for MS windows.=20
