If the source code between libfoo.rpm/deb and libfoo-dll.rpm/deb would be shared (i.e. they fall out of the same package source container) then at least you would benefit from quick bug fixes, but I think it's questionable if packagers are happy to have to provide for a cross compiled libpng package when they actually need to care for the system libs.
I'd actually love to see some investment in being able to build
libraries built against mingw from the same source and spec file.
(maybe similar to the baselibs for 32bit)
Because most if not all libraries in windows:mingw:win{32,64} are
outdated and using the same source and spec files for them would result
in not having to do work twice.
Right now I always use a Fedora container to build PE binaries, because
they have up to date packages for mingw gtk+. I'd love to do so on on
my openSUSE host.
