Libraries are one issue, and also header files, and (possibly) also the
object format used by CE (although I believe this is the same COFF
variant used for WIN32). While there is no reason I can think of that
the compiler would not be capable of doing this, at this time I'm not
aware of any freely-available headers and libraries that would make it
feasible.

This problem has been solved for native win32, twice in fact (cygwin and
mingw32). It's a big job though.
