Thanksfully with the oneclick mingw installer you download it and run 
rake and it downloads the compiler for you, then uses it to build ruby 
:)

http://github.com/luislavena/rake-compiler/tree/master
is an attempt at a helper for cross compiling.

my fork of rubyinstaller works for compiling 186p287 and 186 trunk.
http://github.com/rogerdpack/rubyinstaller/tree/master

You'll want to somehow merge that to brent's 186 branch:
http://github.com/brentr/matzruby/tree/v1_8_6_287-mbari

if I don't get to it first :)
