MSYS was based off an ancient Cygwin fork from the 1.3 days, while MSYS2 started life from Cygwin 1.7. MSYS has been around for a long time, and is heavily used by the original mingw.org mingw distribution. Libtool is catered to work with MSYS simply because it has been around far longer than MSYS2. I'd say if anything, libtool needs to check if it is on MSYS2 or MSYS and then work appropriately. MSYS2 should be treated as close as possible to Cygwin. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
