Recent config.guess still detects 64bit Cygwin as x86_64-unknown-cygwin.
This should probably be changed (upstream) to be consistent with
i686-pc-cygwin.

This was discussed a short while ago on cygwin-developers.

Sorry for the noise - apparently "Cygwin 64bit triplet" was not part of my Brain-RegEx used for scanning ML subjects :-)


Bottom line: while we could do so, it would take forever for the change to "trickle-down" to ordinary packages. It's really no different from Fedora's use of x86_64-redhat-linux for their toolchain while config.guess still returns x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. cygport handles this transparently, so it shouldn't cause any problems.


I agree. This change would have no effect or only a cosmetic effect for most use cases.
