I don't know about IMCROSS specifically, but earlier this year Sylvain
Nahas adapted the build system of nhc98 to allow it to become a
cross-compiler.  At configure time, you simply give some additional
arguments to point to the C cross-compilation toolchain, e.g.

    ./configure --target=i386-mingw
                --hostcc=i386-mingw-gcc
                --hoststrip=...
                --endian=-DLOW_BYTE_FIRST
                --ccoption=...
                --ldoption=...
