There is full email support for MinGW users, see my .sig. Also, most MinGW
users are using it for Win32 native developement and aren't really doing
./configure. Some are, and those that are know how to make it work. Also, the
http://www.mingw.org page has a nice FAQ which can be modified as needed.
The current version of config.guess/sub without modification return
i686-pc-mingw32 for my configuration and returns i686-pc-cygwin for my Cygwin
configuration.
BTW, gcc --version only return 2.95.2 and gcc -v does contain the characters
mingw when returning the name of the specs file; but I don't like this.
