That answers my main question. Then I suppose: > We have one ABI (windows-like) and then for OS parts it could be > "native" - msvcrt or "unix-like" - cygwin.

So maybe something like this: > > Debian name: > ms-msvcrt > ms-cygwin mingw32-winnt mingw64-winnt mingw32-msys mingw64-msys mingw32-cygwin mingw64-cygwin (Obviously I am not attached to the names, just trying to figure out which targets need distinct Debian names for compatibility.) Presumably at the moment you're be working on mingw64-winnt? > And then it's up to Debian maintainers which msvcrt implementation > (analogy with libc) to use - mingw.org or w64 (this one).
