Solution
In order to compile applications for Windows Mobile 5 you will need either:
at least Visual Studio 2005 Standard or Visual Studio 2008 Professional (Microsoft has moved Windows Mobile support in the Professional Version).
Note: You cannot use the Express versions of Visual Studio to create applications for Windows Mobile platform.CeGCC which can be crosscompiled from Linux.
Regarding Qt on Windows Mobile, you should read this Dr. Dobb's Article: Qt and Windows CE
OTHER TIPS
I don't have a definative answer but I am not sure a cross compiler exists that does what you want to do.
