And I've used the products for years as well, that doesn't make the product without fallacies. It is either that config.guess is wrong and the guess should be x86_64-pc-cygwin or the maintainers are wrong and should provide host/target for x86_64-unknown-cygwin. It is that simple. It has nothing to do with what I was trying to do when I discovered the issue; it is an issue. The scenario occurred when I was trying to configure a package and that package was refusing to accept the config.guess build triplet. So I decided to do cyg=`/path/to/config.guess`; ./configure --host=$cyg --build=$cyg The configure couldn't find x86_64-unknown-cygwin-gcc. When I looked in /usr/bin I found x86_64-pc-cygwin-gcc instead!! So which is it, it cannot be both! -- 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
