# compile and link separately
x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ -c main.cpp
x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ -g main.o -o target.exe

For 32-bit system

# compile and link
i686-w64-mingw32-g++ -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ main.cpp -o target.exe
# compile and link separately
i686-w64-mingw32-g++ -c main.cpp
