Any recent Linux should do the trick. For the sake of simplicity, this guide focuses on Debian(-based) distributions.

−
As root, execute:

If you are using Ubuntu, go to the next [[#Make libraries]] section. In Ubuntu, the patch is applied.
−
dpkg --add-architecture i386

Because the version of mingw32-runtime in Debian 5 is [http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=452977 broken] - Thanks [[CodeSquid]], patch mingw32-runtime package.

The version of the MinGW runtime ships with Debian based distributions has broken string conversion functions. You need to fetch the source of the mingw-64 packet and apply the following two patches:
+
=== Build & Install ===
−
  https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/mingw-w64/ci/2474f3904a1fbce19d96383a9633e6c2eeb427ea/

+
  debian/rules install
  
−
Without these patches, FileZilla will not work properly and will fail in obscure ways.
+
=== Copy new library ===
−

+
mv $/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/lib/libmingwex.a $/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/lib/libmingwex.a.old
