mingw emulates linux, but only at the command level. The underlying programs still need to be PE types so they can run in Windows.

There are two ways I can see:
1. Using an ELF emulator for Windows, like this: Elf Emulator[^]
2. Installing CYGWIN and rebuild the executable from source on Windows using it
