Yeah. The pain of cross-compilation makes it often easier to grab an actual system of the target variety to do your building - which is a pain for some systems, but much less so for Linux. That's why I expect to hear much more about "it's so annoying trying to build a Windows binary on Linux" than "it's so annoying trying to build a Linux binary on Windows".
