I typically run an SSH daemon on each instance (on separate ports of course) and remotely work over SSH more or less exclusively. From Linux I just use multiple tabs in konsole, from MinTTY I usually work in tmux. It's easy enough to create MinTTY shortcuts for each instance of Cygwin if you'd rather go that route. As long as these reside on the same machine or share a filesystem it's not much of a problem to share things you want to share (via fstab and nsswitch.conf). But the build instances I use with a dedicated account (that shares its setup between the two architectures).
