I haven't checked that yet, but I guess I will step back to 3.4 on linux to 
have there the same sourcebase I have on the dark side of my machine (XP).

What I didn't mention was, that I was able to build a running 3.5 vm on linux 
using gcc 2.95 instead.

Sure thing, but I should have said, that this is an all inclusive, tailored 
environment (contains gcc2.95, dx7sdk includes, mingw32, gnutools, platform 
and VMMaker sources, ...) and a hand made Makefile for building a 3.4 vm. 
There is no autoconf/automake frenzy involved. This one could be compared 
with the building environment assembled for debian by Marcus.
So it was a _bit_ unfair to implicitly compare a generic, all purpose building 
environment for all unix flavours to a very specialized one.

Nethertheless it is fun to just download two zip-archives for windows and 
compile a vm just like that [snip]. A nice bonus is, that with the emacs I 
installed before and the gcc I'm now able to write my own small windows apps! 
That's a strange feeling. :)
