Recent config.guess still detects 64bit Cygwin as x86_64-unknown-cygwin.
This should probably be changed (upstream) to be consistent with
i686-pc-cygwin.
This was discussed a short while ago on cygwin-developers.
Sorry for the noise - apparently "Cygwin 64bit triplet" was not part of
my Brain-RegEx used for scanning ML subjects :-)
Bottom line: while we could do so, it would take forever for the
change to "trickle-down" to ordinary packages. It's really no
different from Fedora's use of x86_64-redhat-linux for their toolchain
while config.guess still returns x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. cygport
handles this transparently, so it shouldn't cause any problems.
I agree. This change would have no effect or only a cosmetic effect for
most use cases.
