Why does this package depend on both architecture-specific packages?  What if I only want to develop for x86_64, for example?

I believe the need for an explicit dependency on cygwin was removed many years ago.  A blank “requires” line is perfectly legal.

(If I’m right about this, I believe Mr. Bos got this idea from the current setup.html page which still shows such examples.)

That’s an obsolete spelling of “targeting”.
