Re: --host => cross breaks GCC builds

[Mo DeJong]

Boy, this is funny. While this whole --host flame was
raging, I came across this note on the mingw mailing
list. This is just further proof that new users do
not understand the old cross compile semantics and
that the docs don't help much.

Hi All,
 I noticed the other day that some kind soul has ported the mingw
environment to FreeBSD.  This is awesome.  However, I'm not sure I
understand how to build win32 programs from FreeBSD.  I know that when
I want to build something on a windows box, I type g++ -o test.exe
test.cpp -mwindows to get a windows app.  How would I do this in
unix?  Would I have to use --target=????  If so, what would the target
equal?
