I do not have any experience on the Cegcc project, last thing I have 
heard is, that it is not finished so far.

I do not see any issue at all about this. Using configure.exe for 
crosscompilation already provides everything you are talking about. At 
any time you could already use your own mkspec for this task. Actually, 
we strongly suggest to do so, if you have a custom device. For 
documentation see:
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/windowsce-customization.html

This one describes the way to use it for Visual Studio 2005, but 
theoretically it does not differ at all to using a different 
compiler/toolchain.
So what I suggest you to do is create your own mkspec and use
configure -platform win32-g++ -xplatform wince-<whatever you use>

Please note that the mkspec name should start with wince so that qmake 
recognizes this as a Windows CE build and sets the correct files to use 
when compiling the libraries.

We only support Windows CE/Mobile 5 and following as lots of 
functionality has been added for this version. Additionally Windows CE 6 
was already in the making at that time, so there was no reason to add 
support for already deprecated versions.
