Basic porting question

Forgive a newbie's question -- but I've just been made aware of the
existence of gnu-win32, and I'd like to find out exactly what I can and
cannot do with it. So:
(1) given that I have an application currently running under Linux, can I:
(a) compile it under Linux with gnu-win32 libraries and produce a Win32
executable, or must I:
(b) move my source code to Win95 or WinNT, and compile it there ?
(2) the application is written in Objective-C -- is this part of gcc
supported?
(3) the application uses not only Tcl but also Tk and BLT. Will the need
for Tk and BLT present a problem for a porting project?
(4) is the linux dependence on X 'magically' transformed into Win32 GUI
calls, or are X libraries required?
Grateful for someone's 2 cents' worth!
