winpthreads is a pthreads implementation from mingw-w64. The ABI is incompatible with pthreads-win32. One of the major differences is that winpthreads uses scalar handles, so it is a bit more compatible to other packages that assume int type handles. I have successfully built the 64bit cross compiler for cygwin64. There are no changes to the -1 release other than some .cygport modifications. For now, I intend to push it to 64bit Cygwin only, once gcc 4.7 for the 32bit cygwin hits release, I will push it there too. There are some files in the package that replaces some of the mingw-w64-headers CRT headers, this is done on purpose. will cygcheck/setup have any issues? Since it is not in any major distros, I guess it will have to go through a vote. setup.hint: category: Devel requires: sdesc: "winpthreads for MinGW-w64 (64bit) toolchain" ldesc: "winpthreads (pthreads) for MinGW-w64 (64bit) target."
