Vendor -unknown- is just a default in various config cases, so specifying -pc-
for consistency on Cygwin builds is a valid choice by the maintainers.
Perhaps a statement on the cygwin-apps list could clarify what should be done by
maintainers to ensure this override, and maybe retire the use of -unknown- by
any Cygwin apps in future, with a notice to this (cygwin) list for those who
choose to build packages from net sources.
Perhaps also patches should be submitted to the config and automake maintainers
to ensure that {i*,x86_64}:CYGWIN*:*... always produce vendor -pc-. Not sure
about vendors for {amd64,powerpcle}:CYGWIN*:*... in config.guess, which are
currently also set to -unknown-.
