I would recommend using of chroot/VM for cross-compiling in order to not
break anything on your working system.

I don't know why they are needed, I've never done this.

No, no. You have to use the same latest commit in the stable-2.0 branch
both for installation on your system and for cross-compilation. v2.0.11
doesn't build for windows. See the 'commit' variable in the recipe.
Probably, for guile it should to be more definite, i.e. just commit hash.
Now, either just checkout stable-2.0 or git pull the latest changes from
the minipack repo I've just made. It should checkout the needed commit
automatically.

2.1 is an unstable branch. It hardly has any windows support. The new
stable is 2.2. I've not tried it yet.

Cheers,
