The Gentoo Linux distribution has a version that works on Interix x86 Windows. If I build C++ libraries using gcc, will these libraries work with an executable not built inside Gentoo, but only inside Interix? Do I create a dependency on any Gentoo install for runtime or is Interix the only dependency of such libraries and thus its use at compile time does not create a runtime dependency?

They should work, but you might want to take a look at the Gentoo Prefix project. Cygwin is the official way to build and run Gentoo on Windows. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Prefix#Special_notes_for_Microsoft_Windows – oxr463 May 11 '18 at 15:03

I agree that it "should work" without issue. I have never personally used Interix, however, software built on Gentoo with GCC / MinGW have historically worked for me on other Linux / Windows systems. – Alex Barker Aug 30 '19 at 21:22
