Subject:	A small question on machine id
Date:	Sun, 26 May 2002 19:13:20 +0000
Message-Id:	<20020526191321.PYRJ13408.mtiwmhc22.worldnet.att.net@webmail.worldnet.att.net>

The formal architecture triplet like:
cpu-company-os(-kernel)

on my Pentium machine gives
MACHTYPE=i686-pc-cygwin
and it's the same in Earnie's current Msys cygwin DLL -
based system as in Cygwin proper.

I am wondering why?

Obviously one would expect the shell variable value to 
be "i586-pc-(cygwin|msys)"?

  TIA,
