No other port of gcc has anything like this. Fine by me, especially since when TRYING to cross compile, autoconf issues a nasty warning: $ ../configure --host=i686-pc-mingw32 --build=i686-pc-cygwin \ CC='gcc -mno-cygwin' host_alias=i686-pc-mingw32 checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /usr/bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for i686-pc-mingw32-strip... no checking for strip... strip configure: WARNING: In the future, Autoconf will not detect cross-tools whose name does not start with the host triplet. If you think this configuration is useful to you, please write to autoconf AT gnu DOT org. checking build system type... i686-pc-cygwin checking host system type... i686-pc-mingw32 ... I would much rather call the cross-compiler i686-mingw-gcc than the current name of 'gcc -mno-cygwin'. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
