AFAIK there is none. ffmpeg and MPlayer currently cannot be compiled on 
cygwin without adding llrintf from somewhere yourself during the linking 
phase.

About a year ago, I cross-compiled/bootstrapped a NetBSD system from within 
Linux. I believe there's a guide on their site. Before it builds the NetBSD 
kernel, it builds a complete cross-compilation toolchain (bmake, gcc, et 
cetera) which can be used to compile anything after that (all of pkgsrc for 
example).
