What is *normal* about it? Just because other's do it? I gave
scenarios in the mail which you elided from your response which give
credence to a reason to change it.
There is nothing that is *normal* in any scenario of config.guess. It
is what the maintainers decide. You've not given a reason for the
decision to make the *default* not match the *chosen* vendor. You just
stand on the podium of unreason to state something as normal that has no
merit in being normal. Doing so doesn't make Cygwin a special case.
Yes, I can override the default, but I shouldn't have to is my reasoning
of normal. In my sense of reasoning the normal should be the *default*
matching the *chosen*. Why is it different? Give a reason not just
some lame excuse.
