lse it is considered a cross compile. So far, it seems that building with host==build==i686-pc-mingw32 on Cygwin breaks only because of that "cmd //c" thing in Libtool. --Daniel -- Daniel Richard G. || sk...@iskunk.org My ASCII-art .sig got a bad case of Times New Roman. ___

ries from both---and avoiding the need to rigorously cross-compile from one to the other is a big convenience. Obviously, Cygwin vs. MinGW programs is a different comparison from 32- bit vs. 64-bit programs, but it's close enough to allow the same argument to be made. --

For my part, I'd be happy to refer to the system as "mingw" and not "mingw32" nor "mingw64" (extant or not). It seems like the project as a whole has been moving away from the "MinGW32" moniker anyway. --Daniel
