This patch is nonsense and needs to be shot down. Do not confuse Cygwin and MSYS, they are not interchangeable. Use --host to set the cross compiler triplet instead. You also run the risk of breaking non-gcc compilers. Moreover, *-*-mingw64 does not exist save for a short experimentation period. It should really be removed. The __MINGW64__ macro on the other hand is unrelated to any of this.
