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@gnu.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!
