With GLUT, a program can be made cross compatible, right? Or do I have to use gcc as the compiler ONLY? Is it possible to make cross-compatible programs with MinGW or VC++6?

I'm pretty sure you can't cross-compile with GCC either, you'll have to recompile your executable for each platform. If you use GLUT, though, you won't need to change as much of your code to port it.

I didn't think Ninkazu was talking about cross compiling, but rather just being crosplatform compatible. GLUT can be used with VC++6 easily, it's just a matter of finding the include, lib and dll files (ie. a binary distribution for MSVC).
Of course, you ought to be able to compile it yourself too, but this tends to be more difficult and error prone.
GLUT for Win32:

Well, I don't really know how to use gcc, so how would I go about compiling my code for Win32 and Linux?

Information about gcc and make can be found at GNU. While the two manuals might be a tad bit imposing (and I doubt that you'll ever need all of the features that gcc provides), they do make for relatively good reference material. The easiest way by which to use gcc is to write a makefile for each project you write (which is why I linked you to make).
However, if you're looking for a way to compile Win32 and Linux binaries, I wouldn't know exactly how to help you. To my knowledge, there isn't a compiler that does that. However, if you wanted to roll your own compiler, you could always look at the a.out and exe formats listed at Wotsit. Course, if you could roll your own compiler... Heh.
[edit]
Okay, seems I can make a liar out of myself sometimes. While researching something totally unrelated I ran across this reference at MinGW, which might be what you're looking for. I don't know how precise it is, but it might put you in the right direction.
[/edit]
Sorry if none of that was useful.
