A program compiled in MinGW will, generally speaking, not be usable on Linux. You want a cross-compiler that goes the other direction, i.e., runs on Windows but compiles to executables referencing the Linux ABI. Alternatively, just get a crappy old computer, boot it into Arch and compile your code there.

What is MSYS MinGW?

In addition, a component of MinGW known as MSYS (minimal system) provides Windows ports of a lightweight Unix-like shell environment including rxvt and a selection of POSIX tools sufficient to enable autoconf scripts to run, but it does not provide a C compiler or a case-sensitive file system.
