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