Solved by adding

set(CMAKE_RC_COMPILER i586-mingw32msvc-windres)

to toolchain file. Check.

==BEGIN==
# the name of the target operating system
set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Windows)

# which compilers to use for C and C++
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER i586-mingw32msvc-gcc)
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER i586-mingw32msvc-g++)
set(CMAKE_RC_COMPILER i586-mingw32msvc-windres)

# where is the target environment located
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH
/usr/i586-mingw32msvc

# change it according to your paths
/home/milan/Development/mingw)

# adjust the default bahaviour of the FIND_XXX() commands:
# search programs in the host environment
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM NEVER)

# search headers and libraries in the target environment
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY ONLY)
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE ONLY)

Check.

Needed to use mingwm10.dll from official package - file not present on Linux.

Libraries needed for Kicad to work:

mingwm10.dll
wxbase28u_gcc_custom.dll
wxbase28u_net_gcc_custom.dll
wxmsw28u_adv_gcc_custom.dll
wxmsw28u_core_gcc_custom.dll
wxmsw28u_gl_gcc_custom.dll
wxmsw28u_html_gcc_custom.dll

Added package to kicad.1301.cz. Check.
