I used win32-gcc, but tried to avoid using the Unix-compatability 
features.  (ftp.cygnus.com:/pub/sac)

Last I compiled it with win32-gcc b7 or so.  I'm working with b10 now,
but since autoconf/bash isn't reliable enough, I didn't distribute the
changes.  The next minor version of CLISP will have another more unixy
win32-gcc configuration, as well as a minimal-assumption
configuration.  Not sure what you mean by "real WIN32" -- win32-gcc seems to
have DLL stubs for most of the stuff in my win32 reference book.

After installing the gnu-win32 on Linux (or other Unix machine):
  configure --target=i386-win32 --enable-targets=i386-win32,i486-linux
  make 
  make install

And configuring CLISP:
  CC=i386-win32-gcc configure --disable-nls --without-readline win32

makemake --disable-nls --without-readline cross i386-win32 gcc > makefile

should provide a makefile to build the lisp.run for NT.
