--- Comment #3 from devurandom at gmx dot net 2013-02-15 10:37:58 UTC --- (In reply to comment #2) > For mingw-w64 isn't the triplet supposed to be 'x86_64-w64-mingw32'? Or has > the 'old mingw' now grown its own 64-bit support? That would be quite confusing, because the 32-bit target seems to be named i386-pc-mingw32 and not i386-w32-mingw32. IMO w64-mingw32 also looks ridiculous, but that is just my opinion. And also the package is named mingw64-runtime in Gentoo. On the other hand the project itself seems to be named mingw-w64 - which just makes w64-mingw32 look more wrong.
