Three notes: 1) I didn't think I was even going to be able to get mingw as an option in in time for b20 but happily it will be... 2) The difficult thing about making Mingw the default is that that will hose builds of Unix packages without additional configure work (to add the -mcygwin flag at configure/make time). If all you care about is Mingw, it's easy to rewrite the gcc specs file to default the other way. 3) Defaulting to Mingw within the context of a new ix86-win32 configuration cookie is still the long-term plan. -- Geoffrey Noer noer@cygnus.com - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
