Windows x86[_64] elf toolchain

It seems to me that one of the biggest hurdles in beginning an OS is frequently getting a working copy of GCC & binutils for your target architecture. While the GCC Cross Compiler guide on the Wiki works quite well, it takes a significant amount of time. I figured that some windows binaries would help absolute beginners get started.
I've compiled and uploaded GCC and binutils targeting i586-elf and x86_64-pc-elf, and it works flawlessly on my machine. However, I'd like to make sure the package I have uploaded works on machines without the layer of junk that has accumulated on my computer before I advertise it as something for beginners.
I'd really appreciate it if you could take a moment to test them (or even just one of them.) I've uploaded them here.
