Debian/Ubuntu based linux distros provide binutils targeting mingw in packages named e.g. `binutils-mingw-w64-x86-64` (and full toolchains pulled in by e.g. `gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64`). And you can build binutils yourself with e.g. `../binutils-gdb/configure --target=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --disable-werror --disable-gdb`.
