That’s a bigger change than the one already done, so more likely to break more scripts. But also, your change loses information. “WOW64” didn’t mean “32-bit Cygwin,” it meant “32-bit Cygwin *on* 64-bit Windows.” 32-bit Cygwin on 32-bit Windows just says “CYGWIN_NT-10.0”, just like 64-on-64. If you want to know bitness, you need to test via uname -m. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
