Then you’re artificially making rebase’s job harder.

The list of 32-bit-only Cygwin packages is tiny these days, and you’ve just rebuilt your Cygwin environment.  With my new find-cyg-roots script, you could rebuild your current 32-bit environment under Cygwin 64 quickly.  

That should prevent the reoccurrence of the rebase problem.

Both for legacy reasons, neither of which apply to Cygwin.

64-bit software runs on 64-bit CPUs pretty well, too. :)

Microsoft under Nadella feels a whole lot different than Microsoft under Ballmer to me.  Sure he’s steering a large ship, but he *is* moving it.
