Yes, I have used that approach to build 4.0 as well. Works best because 
you can use the build system as always, just provide compiler prefix and 
paths to dependencies (disabling some features makes it easier).

This is the cmdline for configure I used, however it's already a long 
time ago.

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PWD/win32-prefix/lib/pkgconfig 
ORC_CFLAGS="-I$PWD/win32-prefix/include/orc-0.4/orc 
-I$PWD/win32-prefix/include/orc-0.4" CFLAGS="-g -m32 
-I$PWD/win32-prefix/include" LDFLAGS="-L$PWD/win32-prefix/lib 
-L$PWD/win32-prefix/bin"  ./configure  --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu 
--host=i686-w64-mingw32  --enable-orc=no --enable-waveout 
--enable-shared --disable-static --disable-alsa --disable-avahi 
--disable-dbus  --disable-gtk2 --disable-default-build-tests 
--prefix=$PWD/win32-prefix

I installed all dependencies and PA itself into $PWD/win32-prefix.

Best regards
