You don't need a canadian cross compiler. The terminology is a little
confusing, but a canadian cross compiler is if you compile _the
compiler_ on OS1, run the compiler on OS2 and the compiler generates
code for OS3. (and OS1 != OS2, OS2 != OS3)
In your case OS1==OS2==linux and OS3==mingw. This is a normal cross
compiler.

The instructions here:
http://gdcproject.org/wiki/Cross%20Compiler/crosstool-NG
should work. But the gdc windows binaries published by Daniel Green
have some additional bug fixes which are not part of the official gdc
source code so you won't get those fixes with your cross compiler.
