Technically it is required to make config.sub working when being fed with mingw-related target triplets. [try /usr/share/automake-1.10/config.sub i686-mingw rsp. i686-mingw32] - There seem to be efforts related to implementing a 64bit mingw, addressing 64bit Windows. (I don't know if they made progress, I only saw patches related to an x86_64/64bit mingw being submitted to different toolchain mailing-lists) > I have some misgivings (actually a lot of misgivings) about the use of > the /usr/i686-pc-mingw32 directory.
