You keep saying my assumption is incorrect but that isn't the case.  My
assumption is based on data supplied by the configure process.

So says you!  The vendor portion has been agreed to be -pc- and it isn't
-unknown-, a patch then should be created for config.guess to match the
agreed upon vendor.  The config.guess script supplies the default to
configure for the build and host.  The fact that config.guess supplies
x86_64-unknown-cygwin is used by configure is the reason my assumptions
are correct.  If -pc- should be used then config.guess needs to change.
