Hello,
Among the many packages Cygwin provides are MinGW builds of GCC and the
associated libraries and tools, making this a convenient alternative to
MSYS and the packages provided directly by the MinGW project.
When one is using the MinGW compiler in this environment, however,
config.guess still identifies the system as *-*-cygwin, instead of the
more appropriate *-*-mingw* which will typically enable Windows-specific
build settings (such as linking against -lws2_32 for networking
functions).
The attached patch (against git master) consolidates the three separate
Cygwin cases in the big case statement, and adds a compiler check. The
output is changed only if the MinGW compiler is in use; otherwise,
*-*-cygwin is returned as before.
Two open questions remain on my part, however:
* I have the 32/64-bit mode of the compiler affect the OS part of the
triplet ("mingw32" versus "mingw64"); should it also affect the CPU?
(Is it sensible to return e.g. i686-pc-mingw64 or
x86_64-unknown-mingw32?)
* The vendor part of the triplet is "pc" for iX86 systems, and "unknown"
for x86_64; this seems arbitrary. Is there a good reason not to return
"pc" consistently for 32- and 64-bit x86?
