So?! It is still incorrect for the --target of the GCC build to be x86_64-pc-cygwin. My example didn't specify a different build from host. I ran across this from a package that was refusing to accept the config.guess build triplet so I tried specifying both. At that point it failed to find x86_64-unknown-cygwin-gcc. And ./configure --build=`/path/to/config.guess` will not work either as currently delivered. x86_64-pc-cygwin IS NOT CORRECT. It needs fixed in the build process. -- cyg Simple -- 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
