It is indeed possible, but it is also difficult for such a build to have features like FluidSynth working, due to the limitations of the original MinGW32 project. You can download the build I compiled with MinGW32 from:

* dosbox-x-mingw-win32-lowend-0.83.20.zip

Tested to work in Windows XP. It has also been added to the 32-bit Windows installer as a separate mingw-lowend build.
