I doubt it. The EDB builds are compiled with VC++ 2008 (for 9.0/9.1).
If you cross-compile with GCC, you'll be using a different version of
the runtime library.

You'll need to get a copy of VC++ 2008 (the express version is a free
download), and create a VC++ project file to compile your FDW. I'd
suggest you actually try building PostgreSQL first, as that will cause
a number of project files to be generated which you could use as a
reference.
