Thank you very much for your detailed explanations. They helped remember. > However, if you want to go and screw with stuff, feel free -- but ensure > when you do so that you disentangle cygwin. I don't think we should screw with stuff at all. For now, I see two different issues mentioned in this thread: a) some setup where config.guess returns *msys* not *mingw* b) some possible bug described by heromyth which I have not understood yet (i.e., been able to reproduce). If I can reproduce (or someone can confirm) the first issue, we can put in a patch which adds matching for *msys* everywhere where we match *mingw* now. If we can reproduce the second issue somehow, we can think about a way to solving it. But the snippets in the proposed patch are certainly not the right fix. So, heromyth, to state it again: please post a cut'n'paste version of your bug report, so we can see exactly what is going on. Regards, and thanks all, Ralf
