MAME is already platform agnostic, the SDL components were integrated a few versions ago. You can get the regular MAME source, build on Linux, and it just works with no modifications. What more do you need? Sure, MAMEDev still distribute Windows binaries, but that's how it's done on the Windows platform. Your typical Windows user is far less likely to be comfortable around a compiler.
