Hello, I'm mostly a Ubuntu / OSX user and have been using EasyTAG on my
Ubuntu machines, I find myself now in a situation where I need to do a bug
of MP3 tag editing on a 64 bit Win 7 machine, and I was wondering if you
could point me in the right direction to get started rolling a binary of
2.1.8 for Windows.

You should be able to cross-compile it from Linux, but there is no binary available at this stage, except for a preview release that I made a while ago:

http://amigadave.com/temp/easytag-2.1.9alpha1-setup.exe
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/easytag-list/2013-October/msg00000.html

There is no MP3 support in that release, as I was unable to cross-compile id3lib. I used the mingw packages available in Fedora, listed in the SOURCES file in git master:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/easytag/tree/SOURCES

There are a few extra dependencies which you need to build, listed in the same file. If you are successfully able to build and link against id3lib, MP3 support should work.

My other option is to bring an entire new machine onsite, and I don't think
that I can get approval from security to bring one of my own machines on
site. I CAN however bring in a binary of EasyTAG and get that vetted by the
security team.

You might be able to find an old version of EasyTAG for Windows with MP3 support:
