Interesting. So basically disregard the wincap.is_wow64 (which is gone anyway in supported versions), and only look at the host arch, appending a tag only when it's different from Cygwin's own arch, with the special case that x64 is called "WOW64"? (Maybe the special case should be if the host is x64 AND Cygwin is i686, otherwise use x64, just in case MS does something useful like adding ARM64 emulation to x86_64) -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
