IIRC it's possible to compile GDC with the mingw sources on Linux. That should enable you to cross-compile from Linux to Windows.

Alternatively, you could also try running one of the Windows binary distributions (of DMD or GDC) through something like Wine. Assuming your Linux box can run x86 code, of course.

Neither of these would require setting up a Windows partition, though Wine will IIRC set up a directory tree that looks like the one created by Windows.

As a last resort, you could run Windows in a virtual machine (VMWare/QEMU/Bochs/VirtualBox/whatever). That would require installing Windows, but on a virtual disk instead of a partition (though they may also allow raw disks instead of files).
